so, what is the disadvantage of the RPG BOLT kit in comparison to the SVC MT? seems like it bolts right up to the factory mounting points, and upper can.

I'm not a fan of the the following on the bolt kit:

1. lower arm design.
2. Shock mounting ( including angles that the shocks are at. )
3. Ackerman
4. steering tie rod design.

The bolt kit also makes the truck a full 6 inches wider. With the SVC kit and 0/0 wheels, my truck is 96" on the nose , outside of tire to outside of tire.

My truck is pretty much the maximum width a vehicle carrier will agree to before you start getting charged out the ass for "wide load" fees.

In some states, I'm 1/2" inside having to hang a wide load banner on the back of the truck.

If i was a full 2" wider than my SVC kit, like the RPG bolt kit, I'd have all sorts of annoying interactions with DOT officials.
