i think they look too buck toothed myself...
and surely dont put it on a half ton...
They look badass, but man are they heavy... puts a lot of strain on the front end both steering and suspension. Better handled by a 2500 or 3500...
Hope you have no issues with replacing ball joints...
Worst case for the ball joint you can look at the TTX line from Mevotech. They are more expensive, but well worth the price for heavy duty application. Not sure if they have the rod ends.
I would worry more about the rack than the the rod ends.
As for the winch, have a look at the Harbor Freight ones. They are one of the items I would consider from them. + they would have something in your price range.
