I will not argue some of the benefits/cool factor a full replacement chassis offers, but it's really easy to argue the cost vs. results. If it's in the budget I am all for it... but if somebody is looking to maximize their dollars and build a killer truck on a practical budget it doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense.

Good thing is there are lots of ways to do it, and lots of companies making parts for these trucks now. To each his own.
