Default Long Travel Dakota

Well I figured I would finally let out my secret of having a long travel kit that I found on race-dezert awhile back. I got a great deal on it. This is going to be a slow build process because things have slowed down at work and I am currently trying to sell my fabtech lift and my tire gate to hopefully allow me to pay for the final fabrication stage/installation of this kit.
Here are the specs: 3" wider per side
Tubed upper arms with heims
Boxed Lower arms with uniballs
Modified Spindles
12" 2.5 Dual Rate Coilovers
15-17" of travel strapped
Let me know what you guys think.

Thanks. The kit cost (I paid for it) less than 4 brand new tires. The dude rolled his truck with the same company's 1st generation style kit and he never installed this 2nd generation kit and threw it up online. I was the first one to get ahold of him for it and when I picked it up he said he had over 20 other people wanting this kit so I'm very very lucky
