Not over kill. Our trucks aren't exactly light. Anything that can prevent body roll is a good thing. If you want to make it even better get the road master active suspension.

I did my TVS kit with the ES bushings... it helps a lot... when you order the bushings get about 4 extra tubes of lube (available from truck performance) they squeak like you don't even know unless you grease the heck out of them.
are you planning on doing the bushing install yourself? if so email me at mxblue23@aol.com and I can give you some tips... the uppers are pretty easy as long as you have a propane torch... The lowers are a real PITA... going to need a Hydraulic Press or an impact gun and some spacers to keep from crushing the control arm... it's quite a bit more work than I expected... if your in So. Cal I would be willing to help.

Nope, no gimmik. Works very VERY well. It even helps your dropped truck haul better than a stock truck. I've had mine on for about 8 months now and I was under the truck today and it still looks good.
