Sorry for the delayed post. I finished BP-51 upgrades first week of September and had only a week with the truck before heading back to TX from CO. It was perfectly compliant on road and great on washboard and rocky approaches to bike / fish / camp spots. I will post more feedback with time but in laymen general terms.. it feels perfectly compliant on road and SIGNIFICANTLY better off-road. Yes, you notice the additional weight with minor additional sway, acceleration and braking lag (seems silly to mention). Its absolutely stout and solid but not jarring. It's set on slightly softer setting (Ben's recommended.. will followup with tech specifics) and not sure I will need to adjust unless change of use (high speed off-road, tow, etc).
I can't imagine anyone researched (Kits and shops) more than me, but ultimately suspension upgrades are absolutely subjective (INTENDED USE, adjustability, additional gear / weight, towing or camp top, budget, etc.) as I'm sure everyone would agree. I went with BP-51 and Slee primarily due to Ben's extensive knowledge (Likely similar to Filthy) and the Slee top notch shop where you can basically eat off the floor and be hard pressed to find a tool they don't own. Notwithstanding, LC's have always been primary focus. Also and similar to 2008Cruiser's comments above, I wanted a shop and timely product support close to me.
I will post build spec's (need to figure out how) over the next week, but happy to answer any questions in the interim. Oh, also changed from factory to 17" TRD Rock Wheels and 285/70/17 Nitto Terra Grappler LT's for several reasons.. both are great.
