Extended jets have been a key target for Chandra yet only recently has the kpc-scale jet physics been compared to that of the inner, parsec-scale jets. Such a comparison reveals the jet deceleration, power dissipation, pressure gradient, and confinement mechanism --- all essential ingredients for understanding the relativistic jets that characterize radio-loud AGN. Currently, few data exist to make this comparison. We propose to double the sample, with Chandra observations of 4 gamma-loud blazars: 0954+556 and 1229-021, the only 2 bright radio jets not yet observed by Chandra; and 0208-512 and 3C 454.3, observed in AO3 with much too short exposures. We also propose HST multi-band ACS imaging of jet knots in 0208-512, 0954+556 and 3C 454.3.
