They look fairly well made, I have an 03, so they are first years...

Also the old problem years ago with wheels seemingly coming off while driving, what was that ever attributed to, or was it found to be a defect that just passed regular inspection?
On the H2 some of the frontend components are prone to premature wear due to some angles placed on the suspension components when moving to a larger tire. If your rig will never see larger than stock tires or any kinda of rock crawling, then you're fine sticking with stock.

If you're moving up to 37s or beyond then you'll start to look at lifting/leveling your rig, this is when new UCAs would come into play. There's lot of info on this site about the Cognito kit, but, again, if you're keeping your truck on the pavement with the stock BFG ATs there's really no need.
