You dont have to worry about CV's though since you are 2wd right?

P.S. I like the Nightraider look of your truck. If you didnt delete your decals, you shoulda had a "Blacked-Out Edition" one made. haha.

Yes as far as cv's no I don't have those. I'm just saying the ball joint rumor about it destroying them hasn't happened to me in 2 yrs of hard driving. And I've put 64k miles on it. It's been from FL to MI and back 3 times, to KY from FL and back twice and out to PhX from FL. It's been driving hard and alot

Sounds like pretty good real world evidence to me. I would agree that the 3" is harsher on components compared to the 2" or 2.5" but it seems like it doesnt matter and our trucks hold up well enough either way. Glad you havent any problems!
