Nope. The wear & tear is caused by the more acute angles in the suspension.

Having new, high quality parts is always a plus. The ball joints and the CV shafts are the two most commonly impacted parts when lifting using the t-bars.

hehe i like using my big college words
So there is not way I can get 1" of lift with my 4X2 via torsion bars?

Yeah I was just curious, found a place that'll sell NEW 30x9.5R15 BFG Mud Terrains for 89 bucks a piece and figured a 1" lift would help, but I'm pretty sure they'll fit w/o it
