I've been using mine for several years now (20k towing). I've always gone with 45 unloaded and 65 loaded. It has been a nice upgrade. For those that comment on why not just buy an HD truck that comes with them, there are many reasons. This option gives the stiffness I want when towing and all of the half ton advantages when not.
I would describe the improvement as noticeable, but not apples and oranges. Changing the trailer itself from "C" to "D" load range was equally as noticeable.
This type of information is hardly ever shared with newbies seeking information, instead they try to dismiss the 1/2 ton truck as not enough truck, but even as a newbie and a complete novice, can see through this bias against 1/2 tons, and pushing people into large trucks.
I'm learning a lot from thsee comments...very helpful.
