I am too cheap to drop a grand on them, but that does not mean they are not "worth it" it just means I have not noticed in my trucks the need for them over the stock stamped ones. If you lean on the truck at all and have big 18-20+" tires/wheels on one of these, then yeah you could flex the stamped ones and the tubular stuff would help that. As for pricing the upper and lower arms sell for about $6-80 for a pair so the $G sounds OK with all the other stuff. Hope that helped a bit.

I plan to use a set of tubular arms on my 70 Camaro, due to the fact that it will get leaned on and the 70's oe stuff was a known weak link in geometry and the tubular stuff greatly improves those weaknesses.
