Question True Suspension Lift...Guy Claims

I was searching ebay because I need a new upper control arm and ball joints, and I pulled this page up http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2005-...Q5fAccessories

Does this guy know something we don't? He claims they make a true suspension lift for our dakotas.

Maybe it's not fair to say this just from a blurry pic on Ebay, but...

Those welds sure look pretty sh*tty to me.

So, I definately called Chassis Tech and asked some questions (last year?) to a Tech Rep:

My first question was: In your 4.5" lift kit photo, I noticed that the factory lower control arm is still used. His reply was "yes sir". I also noticed, that your 4.5" axle flip kit is engineered for our trucks..."yes sir". Can you explain to me how I will achieve 4.5" of lift when my leaf springs are already on top of the axle? "........yes sir, the flip kit will move your leaf springs to the top of the axle"....Right, they are already located like that from the factory..."Sir, if you already have a flip kit, you can't use another one to get more lift"

This is when I couldn't contain myself and started laughing...I should have recorded that tech call and posted it here.
