X2 on upgrading the shocks. You get limited travel.
I think they are made for a 4.5 lift.. dunno why they give you those..

But I've been running it for a year now. Make sure you use loctite on the bolts cause they tend to loosen up. I've had that issue over and over till I did that.
And you have to religiously keep the arms greased or premature wear will occur to the bushings.

Other than that. I've had no other issue's.

With the short arm kit you might start knocking your arms against the lower mounts for your shocks. If money is an issue, I might look into getting the control arm drop brackets, should help with the clearance and smooth out the ride a little too.
