After installing the cam bolt kit, I was able to get my alignment set good enough that I didn't need to pay anyone to do it. However, after 15000 miles and a few pot holes, I think that I have knocked it off again. I am eating the hell out of my front left tire, but that is my own fault for not readjusting it. If you keep it aligned, then it will be fine with minimal wear.
As far as towing, you can forget it. The drop puts the axle so close to the frame that everyday driving will bottom it out numerous times. If you install a c-notch, then you can clear it with ease. In addition, you could also install an air bag kit for the rear to help support the load. They are surprisingly cheap, and will really help out. Even with a c-notch, the larger 01+ driveshafts will hit the crossmember. If you do not notch that as well, then you could end up with a bent shaft. Not to mention, your 60 ft will suffer when you launch at the track, since the friction on the drive shaft will slow you down out of the hole.
The 3/4 drop looks great, but you really have to do it right if you want a long lasting comfortable ride.
