K Member install

Yes it would make it much easier, the install is fairly easy especially if you get a complete kit with a-arms, etc...

I run the UPR set-up and it is very nice.
 
Yeah, I think I might just go with a k-member brace. As it is, I'm being forced to drop a new engine in, so the full k-member replacement plus all the other front suspension upgrades will be a little too steep for me right now.
 
I run the UPR unit as well but with the a-arms and coil overs. It is really not that hard to install. It gives you plenty of room to work and extra clearance for headers and such. Also it makes changing the starter a breeze.
