Curious, what is the purpose of this kit? Benefits or prevention?

prevention...the hydraulic lifters are a weak point...theres a video on their website that explains it a little but i talked to them on the phone and im actually going to go with their stage 1 cam kit with solid one piece lifters...better material and better tolerances and fitment down in the lifter bore...im not building firepunk but i overbuild everything for longevity...
this is the kit im going with....

That's a pretty penny for that kit.

I have read of a few hydraulic lifters issues with the 19+ platforms. My question is how does the Wagler kit provide better tolerances, I would think a hydraulic lifter would essentially provide 0 lash at all times? With a solid lifter will you have to adjust these every so many miles and will the valve train be noisier vs. a stock truck? The cam will definitely pick up some power and I bet this system is more reliable in the long run but I I also think it could require more maintenance too. I would love to hear a video of one of these starting in a cold climate. If you have additional details please share.
Edit: I read your post again and you mention the lifter bore tolerance, I see what you are saying now. My concern above was the clearance between the cam and lifter assembly and how that could cause additional valve train noise. A hydraulic lifter would constantly adjust where as a solid lifter one you kinda set it and forget it, no self adjusting.
Nothing as big as a cam kit, but got my Weigh Safe hitch and a locking pin from Infinite Rule Security. It threads on and doesn't have the narrow piece that snaps off so easily. The threaded portion is narrow, but the square lug should take any force put into it. The hitch doesn't set off the rear sensors which is nice.
Also got a tether from Kurgo for the doggo to ride in the back seat attached to a carabineer from Tractor Supply to the seat bracket.

Apparently the pin in the stock lifter is smaller than the opening it sits in and allows the lifter to rotate...the solid one piece replacements have a larger pin to hold them straight....the valve train noise might be a little louder but these 5th gens are pretty well insulated so imo it won't be much of an issue....

Did you get them from the Ram dealer? I am waiting on a call if they can get them for my Laramie. Thanks

Those turned out great! Glad it worked out!
Pricing wasn't bad either. Weigh Safe sells factory seconds and returned hitches for up to 50% off and the locking pin was $37 on Amazon.

Picked them up from the forum member below and took them to an auto body to have paint matched.
Thank you again, yeah I think it looks appropriate now. Damn shame they raise prices and delete standard features.Those turned out great! Glad it worked out!

If you want just the fronts, You can buy mine since I'm waiting for a set of 4500 fender flares for my truck. As soon as I get my new ones painted and mounted, I'll shoot you a DM.

On my way to the garage to install the Thuren front sway bar and King steering stabilizer. Getting ready for the 37's I have sitting in the storage unit collecting dust. I don't know what's inside of the King stabilizer, but it seems like it weighs 20 pounds. Still deciding if I'm going with Thuren 2.75 or Carli 3.25, if I don't decide soon a Carli kit might cost a small fortune because it seems like the price goes up every 3 days. I really wished I would of pulled the trigger on either kit in March of last year, prices were a lot cheaper back in the day .

You're doing it wrong
Made a set of airbag cradles. I did not like the daystar ones as they were so thick at the base and lost way to much suspension clearance for my liking and just being plastic made me decide to sell them and make my own steel ones, not painted yet but i may finally get some time to install the airbags/ cradles and compressor in the next few weeks.

Got a few more pieces for my “project”, might do some “testing” today if the rain holds off.
Got a battery powered Tera pump for the titan sodekick and purchased the B&W 4” offset. Not sure if I need the offset as my current set up works but might need it for clearance with the sidekick. Anyhow, if the trailer sits ok and rides ok might start using the offset anyway, little bit of peace of mind…………
I’ll post follow up with clearance pics asap
