Reason for the questions is that I want my truck to look exactly like yours.
Not really sure if they are worth it or not. To me they are as the look better to me. Anyway, I've never had the stock suspension to compare it to. This kit was on there when I bought it several years ago. This kit and the wheels are the only modifications I think that are still left from when I bought it that I haven't changed. Well, it had the lift, wheels, and tires, and wiring for a amp, and an exhaust. Oh yeah and 35% tint up front. Other than that it was basically stock when I got it. I've changed the exhaust since and added all the other mods. You could tell it hadn't been beat on as it had one tiny rock chip and other than that it was spotless when I got it. Wasn't scratched at all. The guy had just done it for show. Apparently he towed his 5x10 utility trailer with a 4 wheeler places and that was basically it for abuse and I wouldn't call that abuse as it should easily handle that. This thing was in amazing shape when I got it.

Anyway, the kit has a AAL in the rear, different coil springs in the front, bump stops, and the lower control arms were changed up front. That basically seems to be what the kit consists of. Oh yeah, and longer shocks. I've had to since change those. If you get Skyjacker shocks I recommend painting them before you put them on. I was told this but didn't listen even though my old ones were rusted. Anyway after a year or so expect them to look horrible with surface rust all over them. I ended up taking mine off and sanding them all down to bare metal and painting them with a silver that sparkles. They look absolutely amazing. And here 10 months or so later still look good as long as you clean the dirt and dust off of them.

We have a couple of other vehicles so if it's broken I have something else to drive but it's the cost of having to fix it that gets me. I have dirtbikes if I want to offroad. I have a 4 wheeler too but it currently sits with a blown motor so it doesn't do too much good.
