I've actually taken mine in for warranty work and had the dealer warranty replace a blown front shock after I had the kit put on. Dealer knew it was on there, they installed it since I found the strut crossthreaded when I tried to put it in. (I let them snap it off and warranty me a new strut)

interesting how dealers differ in their attitudes and opinions on service work in general. As far as I know, Moose and I are the only trx4 with the TM kit (unless I'm missing someone somewhere). According to him his shafts are angled like mine, which is a bit more than all of yours (I think).
How much did the dealer charge to install yours?

Well it was originally going to be $120 plus an alignment but as soon as they snapped a strut that became warranty work as did all the labor involved in changing it and they found the other one was blown so same applied there. I think it ended up being $60 which was the labor involved in putting in the TM kit beyond what would be required to replaced the struts and the needed alignment.
The first time I went to my dealer about a brake issue they informed me that the rotors were slightly warped but Dodge warranty only covers brakes up to 12'000 miles. I gave them very poor marks on the satisfaction survey afterwards. The next time I was in for something the shop manager actually came out to talk to me, he asked me why I had given them poor marks and what they could do to improve that. He also explained to me how the surveys work and that in my case with the brakes there was nothing they could do since that was corporate policy and if he did the work Dodge would refuse to reimburse them. To be honest I felt pretty bad about giving them bad marks as I realize now my annoyance was with Dodge overall, the dealership treated me very nicely. Now that we seem to understand each other they've been great whenever I bring my truck in, he's straight with me about stuff. He knows I won't flip out if there's nothing he can do because he tells me everything that's going on up front and I know if he can get my problem fixed under warranty he'll do whatever he can to make it happen. I don't expect them to pay out of pocket for something Dodge won't cover or reimburse them for.
