It should lighten it up ALOT. The stock k-member is heavy as hell. The new k-member along with the coil overs and a arms are gonna be a nice addition.

Do you have long tubes? If you do did it give them any extra clearance. I've been eyeing the upr kit for some time especially since its chromoly. Was there any fitment issues with the k member itself?
Yes, I have a new set of long tubes that are going on as well.

^^ Yea, it really is! lol A front suspension kit is definetly worth the money... Im just curious to see how it feels after you get everything back together. I heard that having the tubular front makes it bumpy as hell.... let me know because Im curious. Everyone who has their front suspension done has something different to say, some say its horrible some say its perfectly fine. I dont really care Im just doing it for clearance and weight issues but would like to know in advance. I should be doing this soon also so if there is any tips you would like to give meI would appreciate it!

I have a tubular with coil overs on my 01 GT and I love it. It is a little more bumpy, but nothing horrible.
