I'll tell you that on a 4x4 1/2 ton, changing the master cylinder and probably the proportioning valve is absolutely necessary. I used the SSBC kit and it was never right. I never did change the master cylinder so that might have made it better, but I switched back to drums to get decent brakes again.

Here's a writeup about what NOT to buy:
