Best short arm kit

While elevating the rear track bar solves one thing and spoils another, the CRC Link improves handling with no ill effect on anything.
It even clears the differential at any flex ...because it sits on it...

Maybe my interpretation is wrong but from the comments above it sounds like MC's kit is designed with those theories in mind and certainly functions just as it should.
We can all agree that a bolt on one size fits all kit will always have certain limitations but MC has worked within those limitations to design probably the best kit of its type on the market. If there is another kit which someone would like to bring up which they feel is better that would certainly add to the discussion if there are specific reasons why the kit is better which can be discussed.
There are some threads on Pirate and Jeepforum where the engineer who designed it was interacting with all the "gurus" and in reading through those it appears they faired pretty well in the question answer category. There was a good thread comparing RK and MC as well it may have been on here that was quite interesting.

It's so ingeniously simple, that it's odd that no one else thought of it before, as a solution for the Jeeps' rear track bar.

I agree here, Ive been a fan of the rk kits, seem well priced and plenty complete, they also stretch slighty. Im not saying its the best out there and im not running one. To say mc is the only option to look out seems crazy imo and i doubt ill ever change my mind.

The rear track bar spoils directional stability, for instance.
As for the problems that elevating it creates, and the possible solutions, this had already been discussed here.
Any long-travel shock, if re-valved similar to the 6-Pack shocks, would behave the same with the MC coils.
A shock does nothing more than resist the coil compression / de-compression.
Please explain how do the MC fenders influence their suspension.

Without MC shocks, and MC fenders, the MC "kit" is no more or less a performer than synergy or RK.
