Now I wheel my truck hard regularly and its daily driven. That being said I knew when I put the keys in my balljoints and cv's would wear faster. I already replace balljoints and idler arm yearly( not a problem got lifetime warranty parts) and as for cv joints replaced both..... 2 years ago (also lifetime warranty) Yes the angles are steep but its not like they are blowing apart every 3 months.

So moral of my long story is that If you dont mind doing a front end rebuild once a year than do what I did. if not get the rc kit and go to town.
There's nothing wrong with taking PJ's method, as long as you're aware of the extra strain you're putting on parts. If you're ok with that road then go to town. Lots of us go with just the tbar lift to varying degrees rather than purchasing a suspension lift.
