if you're worried about wear, just don't stack a leveling kit on top of the suspension lift. This way, CV angles will stay the same as stock, and you won't have to worry about boots tearing/shafts breaking. Also, ball joints are considered high wear items on these trucks. If you are staying solely on the pavement, you really won't see any accelerated wear. Its when you push a lifted truck offroad in ways you wouldn't when it was stock is when things can break fast.
