I read somewhere and someone said something about the suspension binding. I lost the site and where all the info was. I can see where it would benefit a whole lot. But im sure there are a few cons as well. Id like to talk to an actual person not affiliated with them to give an honest review

I installed it on my JK.
The difference was very noticeable when driving fast in whoops.
Also noticeable when taking a long sweeper on-ramp type turn.
Way less rear body roll.
I love it.

The system replaces the trackbar and functions similar to a upper triangulated or double triangulated 4 link, only with 6 total links. Axle travel is now linear, the axle will not follow an arc like when located via a trackbar.

The decreased body roll is because the rear roll center of the vehicle has been raised. The same effect can be achieved with a raises rear trackbar bracket.

Works as advertised (when properly setup). Went through two rear sway-bar solutions finding the setup that works well on my rig. If you have a 6000lb Jeep rolling on 37s or larger with 6" + lift--cannot recommend using the Anti-rock on the rear with the CRC. There is too much vertical and horizontal motion. Stock is also questionable in terms of stability on a heavy/lifted Jeep. Full Traction sells a HD rear sway and that was the way to go.

I see this post is old, but:

I have the Full Traction CRC Link on '12 4-dr Rubi, 4" lift.
Handling is much better, the effect of the rear axle sideways movement is completely gone.
No effect what so ever on anything else, no cons.
It eliminated the need for constant small steering corrections on or off road, which characterize rear live axles with radius arms.
I can now keep one light hand on the steering at 70mph, even with strong wind gusts.
Offroad, the Jeep goes where the wheels point to, the steering is according to line chosen, without the annoying extra corrections.

I finally installed my FULL TRACTION CRC today and what a difference. Driving down the road is now precise without the small counter-steers that were required before. I have a ROUGH COUNTRY 4" X suspension & 35s.
