Long term leveling kit damage...... am i the only one?
So my truck just hit 60k miles. I have replaced 4 the ball joints, both struts, both sway bar links, both sway bar bushings, and tie rod ends. not to mention just got my 3rd aglignment. that is ridiculous. I pulled off the leveling kit and rear lift block. Not worth the hassle again in another 3 years. Has anyone else had this problem?

The suspension generaly starts going south on our trucks at around 50k. Weather or not you have a leveling kit. Be sure to use quality replacement parts.
I put my leveling kit on my truck about 10k ago, and now the truck has 120k on it. No problems, just the usual joints being replaced. I replaced lowers at 86k and uppers at 117k.
you got pretty much double the life w/o the lift. that supports my original statement. i wont be lifting another IFS truck in my life. i'm going heavy duty as soon as i graduate
My lower ball joints went at 50k. Added level when I replaced ball joints and struts. 107K on it now and lowers are still solid, but uppers are going. I don't think the leveling kit has any effect on front end wear. It's just Dodges crappy oem front end components.
