Wear - Problems After Front Lift - Level

[bentroia]

Has anyone had premature wear, failure, or problems mid 5k miles+ to long term after a front end lift - level?

Height change?

Mileage between mod and problem?

Problem? (CV, knock, rub, tire wear, steering, other, ect)

Remedy?

Curious to know objective impact, if any, from a wear-reliability view.

Any issues??

If only a 1 to 2 inch level or lift it should be good from everything I've read here. Getting an alignment afterwards is key to tire and other steering component wear. When you get into the 2.5+ I think UCAs are suggested and maybe a few other things. Just depends on how high you want to go.

2" level from dealer. No unusual tire wear noticed at 20K, but I have the tires rotated every 5K with an oil change.

2" with Eibach on all four corners and no issues after 5K, actually rides better than OEM suspension.

27k miles on a 2.5" level, no issues.

I did a 3.5 lift new uca's and 35 inch tires I have a good 8k miles many of them offroad and have had zero issues all the sensors and stuff function perfectly the mechanical components are still in great shape the only negative has been the obvious problem of losing a few mpg. But as far as handling performance functionality and reliability the ranger has performed exceptionally.

After the lift from Old Man EMU I ran it for about 40,000 and never had any issues with accelerated wear on any parts. Mind you the front was lofted 2.4 inches and the rear 1.6 inches. The front diff stayed in its original place too.
