Default Detroit Axle steering parts kit

Anyone used this kit by Detroit Axle?
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01AFLPHH4/

Seems like a good deal for a complete steering kit.

All (4) Front Inner & Outer Tie Rod End Links + 2 Tie Rod Boots
Both (2) Brand New Front Lower Suspension Ball Joints
Both (2) New Front Stabilizer Sway Bar End Links

I go by Amazon reviews, and those look pretty good.

Name brand parts are being "diluted" more and more due to imported parts, many that were USA made are not globally made. Ebay $25 (each) wheel bearing hub assemblies for my Jeep lasted 100,000 miles with a snow plow.
When it comes to suspension parts the difference I see between lower priced ones and more expensive ones is the grease fitting, I like being able to grease things.

Did you (or anyone) get this? I am shopping for UCAs and I came across this company on Amazon, too. Looking at getting
THIS THIS
. Just want to make sure it'll last at least a year.

I'm also getting conflicting results with some of the products. UCAs that fit 2005 (as listed) say they won't fit my 2004. I'm not sure why. Build date? They think it's a heritage (it's not)? It's frustrating. My understanding was that all of the UCAs are the same (or interchangeable) 2004 up (or until like 2014 or something).
