I installed the arms with the 2.5" lift. The arms allow you to adjust the drive shaft angle to compensate for the lift. I did notice some vibration after I installed the lift and adjusting the arms did reduce it. I believe the shop that did the alignment also adjusted the arms to fine tune the alignment.

I found the ride with the lift very harsh but they do advertise it as a heavy duty spring.

The upgrade is to be able to adjust your drive shaft angle to iliminate drive line vibrations and prevent u joint failure. At least thats what I get out of it. Every vehicle  reacts different to lifts. I have some decent vibes with my spacer lift.
