Here's my view:
Due to the durability of the crappy OEM units (I fractured a rear around 8k/stk truck) and with the additional travel especially off-road it was a no-brainer for me to replace them when I decided to do the AAL. I strongly feel upgrading the stocks merits itself as a stand alone mod.
