AS 2.5" Leveling Problems??

I'm looking at getting the AS 2.5" leveling kit so I can squeeze in some bigger rubber. Any unusual wearing problems I should worry about because of the change?

leveling kits change the geometry on all the joints, so you could experience problems with ball joints wearing pre-maturely. i had to replace both of my upper ball joints after having a leveling kit for maybe a little over half a year. needles to say i ditched the leveling kit and got a suspension lift so it worked out. personally i dont recomend leveling kits but some people here i have seen have had no problems with them at all, so maybe its luck of the draw?

Thanks for the info. I might go with a suspension lift to avoid replacing parts yearly.
