Default other stuff needed for LT's... Tubular K-member?

hey.. i was wondering if it was worth it to replace my K member when i went with some LT headers? what all do i need for a new K member, will i notice the better handling from it... do i need a coil over set up for the front suspension if i get one? will it take much weight off my front end if i go with control arms and the K member? im just wondering if it would be worth it while i have the motor jacked up or the old one is out when i have LT's to install.. i got a ton of parts to order in about 2 months gettin the car ready for a s/c.

Probably about $1200-$1500 for a complete front end kit. Well worth it though.
