Simply put lift kits tear **** up overtime. Maybe not right away but things will wear down a lot faster than they were meant to.

~120k on mine. The ball joints did go bad about 15k after I put the lift on, replaced with Camburgs and no problems since. I am offroad a lot too for hunting/fishing, far from a street-queen. It did destroy the gas mileage though.
