Yes.. Another one of these threads, anyway which of these skis should I get of these 2 skis should I get, don't get enough pow here to get the worth out of the 106/108 so looking at either of these.
I want a ski stiff enough to do some smaller cliffs and moguls/crud but still be playful and buttery in the park How much stiffer is the Kartel or are they roughly the same?Also how do the chronic's, Vandals and Pbj'scompare and are they any good out of the park? Any other ski suggestions appreciated.

I was going to say, I don't think the make those skis shorter than maybe a 161 and to shop junior or ladies skis but 5' 6" makes it easier.

Look into the Prodigy series from Faction. I recommend the 1.0 or 2.0 for you!

Pbj would probably be a good candidate. Pretty stiff for drops witha decent bit of rocker to make it playful. alsoa good width for a do it all ski. I’d also second on the Candide 2.0s

Pbj is definitely more firm than the kartels but not sure on the chronics, pbj is probably an 8 tips and tails and 9 underfoot with it progressing gradually between in terms of stiffness

I'm curious why you're looking for the stiffest out of those? If you weigh 105lbs the ''stiffness ratings'' are skewed, all but the softest skis are going to take some work to bend.
