Worth it. Even better if you can save a little longer and get pretty much everything axle related done in 1 shot. Save you a boat load on labor cost since they have to open up pretty much everything to get the gears done.

My AMW4x4 5.7. It makes it so easy to drive and tow my camper, plus the sound makes me smile every time I hear it

Triangulated 4 link rear from rock krawler. I was amazed how bad the head toss was hitting bumps and dips at an angle with the stock suspension. Almost non-existent with the triangulated uppers that are much longer than the stock. The suspension geometry stock is a joke. The lowers are nearly double the length of the upper leading to hige pinion angle changes when the suspension cycles.

Thought about saving up to add eLockers front and rear but a couple of trips up to Sacramento sounded like my transmission was going to blow up. Had to get it done.

On my factory height Rubicon the best thing I did after changing my tires to 35's was to replace the factory lower control arms in front to MOPAR lower control arms. It increased the caster from about 4.2-4.5 to 5.5-6. That alone made it handle like a new truck. No more wander or drifting. Just amazing. The difference between the two arm lengths is on 1/4" but best results yet.

Dead pedal, and home made Dog Mess Containment System (still a work in progress).

Dead pedal made a huge difference in lower back comfort for long trips.

Rear seats removed and the Dog Mess Containment System gives my little hunting pup a lot more room to move around on those long trips.
