just asking! nice truck btw
Sorry for the late reply, I haven't logged on in a while. I haven't had any issues like that whatsoever and it has been this way for a year and a half now. The steering geometry is identical to my friend's 2005 4x4 with a 2.5" level.

Finally upgraded to Rancho Quicklifts on the front. Pics will appear soon following the suspension settling.

Years later, still no issues with upgrading to 4wd suspension parts. No ball joint issues at all, like some on here who think they know it all seem to think. The only thing I've had to change was using the longer 4x4 sway bar end links to compensate for the increase in suspension drop.

Sold the truck a couple days ago. For those interested, the lift held up great for years without issue. So anyone who says it won't work has no idea what they're talking about. Just replace old worn parts with MOOG and change the sway bar end link to the longer 4WD version and you'll never have a problem.
