No, but stay away if it mounts the shackle below the frame.  You need the top shackle bolt to go through a sleeve in the frame if you want proper steering and suspension geometry.  It takes extra work to do it right.

The Full Traction kit utilizes the stock spring hangers and shackle mounts.  This makes for extremely long shackles and if you plan on taking it offroad, you'll probably get hung up on them if you ever have to back up.

Well the pic is kinda dumb as it shows 2 pairs of shackles, likely uses the shorter shackles to hang from the stock frame hangers beneath the frame.  This is bad news as it will change the pinion angle and caster, not to mention the shackle getting hung up on everything.

The SRS just isn't worth it IMO, money and time best spent elsewhere.
