No, the $50 was just the cost of an alignment after cranking them yourself.
The setup I have really has no real downside as far as i'm concerned. My t-bars are still within factory specs, the truck rides a little stiffer, but that doesn't bother me at all. It performs AWESOME offroad, the larger tires really help with clearance, not to mention the body lift keeping the body just a bit more away from obstacles. The air shocks are adjustable and help with towing. They also enhance articulation offroad (actually, that may be one downside, you'll experience a bit more sway on-road. I don't drive like a maniac so it doesn't matter to me).
Larger tires will always put a bit more wear on the suspension and steering. You'll go through idler arms, wheel bearings, and ball joints a little more often...but again, it's well worth it.

Two reasons:
1. Because i like having a little bit of rake to the truck
2. Because cranking the torsion bars any higher will put more stress on my front end and make the ride even stiffer. The more you crank, the more likely you are to throw grease out of the cv-joints and to wear out your ball joints faster.
