Default 2wd Lift again

Alright guys so i've read the other posts, but no one is addressing the question thats burning me up, will a spacer lift with new shocks affect any life spans of any other parts, tires brakes ect. Thanks in advanced.

spacer wont really damage anything unless u go with a big on seeing that u have an 07 1.5 spacer or 2 inch spacer well be fine other then that if you want to go beigger you can get a spindle lift or x member lift

True, the higher you to without adding components made for the job (lift spindles, cross member drops, ect.) it could cause issues. But most people dont go that big without adding the right pieces.

any lift what so ever reduces the life span of the components.

A lift like mine and weed's (cross member drop) allows for factory geometry while still giving you lift.
