You gotta be realistic about dd'ing with cal tracs... They don't turn the truck into an ox cart but the forward leaf spring bushing is swapped for solid aluminum and no matter what the back end is harsher. Lots of guys have dd'd them (me included) but every man's quotient for pita factor is different. When I sold my powerstroke I took the cal tracs off just beforehand and I could not believe how comfortable it rode with them off. Night and day. But they do have other advantages besides looking cool, if you've got a built trans they will "soften" the hit on low speed shifts so in that way they actually make the truck more comfortable. In my opinion if you are making good power they won't do anything at all in 2wd with a normal street tire. They still need a slick/ drag radial to be effective but every truck is different. Also the heim joints wear out quite quickly on the street since they're not insulated and they aren't cheap thru Calvert. I was replacing them every 10k miles on my f250 but that was a 3/4 ton so your results may vary.
