Default Problems with lifting a Truck

What problems come from lifting a truck. I heard it messes up your tires and steering but not sure. What other problems come from a lift

I am wondering the same thing. I have heard that you will have too replace u-joints more often, and I have heard that that was wrong as well.

Less mpg's. More stress on drivetrain, more money for tires. If not done properly, stress on the front end components. If you're trying to outweigh the problems with the coolness factor of a lift. I wouldnt even lift it. Level it and be done.
