I've had my one-ton for about 10 years now. I really like the superior braking power from the larger rotors and would not go back to OEM.
As far as the steering geometry, I don't really notice it, its not a rally car! The front-end loading on the motorhome changes very little so the suspension does not move far from center point.
Maybe someday new knuckle casting can be made with proper ball joint mounting points so this issue will go away.
I got the JimK kit before I heard about Manny's kit. From what I gather and my experience, JimK's kit comes with everything you need for the conversation, whereas with Manny's kit you need to source your own brake calipers, pads, tie-rod ends etc.
Just my experience.
