you are correct and rock krawler told me that using just the 1.5" coils ala carte is perfect way for non hard core people to go. I run just coils with 7000 rancho shocks and extended sway bar links front and rear and 2" bump stops with 34" tires and it does anything I will do. I wheel a lot with Willie Worthie and he is impressed with the set up. That is good enough for me lol.

It would be nice if the OP would fill out his profile and inclued some other information to help us give him a better answer.
Like JK or JKU (yes it matters), tire size, type of wheeling that is done.
If you throw that kit on a JK then expect 3.5"+ of actual lift which will require quite a more components to complete the lift and give you a good ride.

IMO the max travel is kinda a waste. The rear lower arms are shorter to barely longer then stock. Their only purpose is clearance and maybe a little less bind.
Upgrading to the X Factor (all 8 arms), the rear lowers are replaced w/ longer lowers. Paired with the longer uppers move the axle back 1-1.5"
Fwiw, using the short lowers for pinion would pull your tire in toward the pitch seem (adjusted shorter then stock)
If somebody wants/needs pinion correction.
RK will shorten a set of uppers for you. You can still run those with the short lowers... they would be maxed out centering the tire in the wheel well.
