Spend the money on Mantis new center diff, Coyote's chassis brace, Exotek chassis, or something that will make the truck run better.
The alumium screws can actually be used to remove weight high in the truck and then add more ballast low. I have used the aluminum screws in everything that is above the chassis line. The bottom stays all steel. This will help lower the CG, a little. Everything helps though.
I agree there are areas that are more important to spend money on first, but after your done with the big things you can move on to the smaller areas. Plus I like the way they look.
