    So I have been told that the 3 inch leveling kit 3 In the front 2.5 in the back will wear out ball bearings faster and mess with ball joints is this correct because I would like to do the 3 inch leveling kit with a 3 inch body lift but not if it’s going to cause a lot faster wear and tear on the ball joints or any other parts

    Things wearing and needed more maintenance is part of lifting up your truck and running bigger tires. Also at 3” your probably need to consider uca’s to get alignment correct. Plenty of info on here. Do you your research and do it right the first time.

    For one I think your bumpers will have a large gap between the body and the ride will most likely suffer . But if it’s not your daily driver and it’s just used off road do what you want to do :notsure: Try searching the suspension thread /forum for more info:thumbsup:
