I can appreciate the aluminum shock collars and caps, but have never had any problem with the plastic shock parts that I still run today. And they're lighter.

Shock standoffs are nice, for sure, and can aid in quick shock adjustments - but I can tell you I think I've moved my shock locations a grand total of once so far.

Aluminum rear hubs are nice, and perhaps they make your bearings last longer, but for $1 a bearing from Avid I'm not too worried about it. I think the dirt and grime will get the bearings before the plastics will.

The parts I do appreciate from the tuning kit are the carbon fiber towers, and I'd probably add those to the list of Ridley's should-haves.

The tuning kit does give you a lot of items for your truck at a very good price. And lets face it .. we're all in love with the truck and what's it hurt to add a few more quality pieces for it? There are no WRONG pieces for this truck. Just need to prioritize what you want. Some people just love to tinker anyway ... it's all a hobby. Enjoy!
