True, but $400 for longer control arms make this interesting. Leveling kit with control arms to help with ball joint angles, not a bad in between price point.

That's the idea behind the longer control arms. This is what separates this kit from a leveling kit. It's a lot like some of the stuff from camburg.

I thought that too, but I don't like the angle it would put on my upper ball joints, more than likely it will cause them to fail quicker, so I rather spend a little extra now and not have the headache and expense later on.

The manufacturer is just releasing this kit on November 28th according the website, which is why there is no feedback yet, I talked to the guys that made this kit at sema and they said it rides like an oe truck, but I know that's kind of a biased opinion. From what I could tell while looking over their truck at the show, this is a well built and thought out system

thank you for those who have responded. I work for a company that is a dealer for suspension kits, so I see every different kind out there and this one just caught my eye for what I would maybe want to do to my own truck. I called the manufacturer and they said the upper control arms are equipped with new OE style ball joints (not Uniball). they also said the arms are made of .120" wall DOM tubing and should be every bit as strong as the OE arms. I think I'm going to give this a try and I will update what I think once its finished.
I have 3" Pro Comp leveling kit and 2.5" Rear aluminum block, and BFG Rugged Terrian T/A's 275/65/20=34.1" and Firestone rear air bags for towing.
Off Topic a Bit:
I want to go to BFG KM2's 35"x12.5/17" - 17" x 9" RBP 94R Chrome Rims, for my Summer Camping Tires. Not sure of what the offset would be.....
Will I have rubbing issue's if I go to this tire size, will I need billet bolt on spacers??
Or I was thinking of going 325 - 20" on my stock rims?? and spacers
Just wondering before I purchase my rims...
