Default J to A-arm conversion

I have seen one kit for sale at ATV Racing. Has anyone used this kit or another? How strong is it, how well does it work?

For the availibility of upgrades to the suspension. Its too limited with the J's. Or, at least from what i have seen it is.

From what I have seen, j arms will take some pretty good shots. However, if you hit something square with the one of the front tires, or just glance a rock, those things will fold in much faster then an a-arm setup. I mean its no wonder, the j is already bent in that direction, and has nothing to support a blow from the backside of the arm, like an A-arm would. But I really dont know if its worth doing a conversion kit over. Maybe if you already smashed a J arm up, and have to replace it, then I would look into possibly doing a conversion kit.....
