Any truth to the post Dodge has addressed the front strut issue?

Put a set of the Rancho Quicklifts on a buddies '06 about a year and a half ago, he loves 'em. About the same thing as the Bilsteins...

I called Bilstien's Off road office and left a message, I just want to see what they recommend for the shocks.
Hammer, how much did it raise the front end? I see that it can be one to 2 inchs.
Thanks again

So they looked at the front end and put my terra grappers on..... The mechanic and me went for a drive, he found some play in the tie rods but nothing beyond spec, right shock os bad and there is some play in the left spring.goes back tuesday they are taking the front end apart and checking it all out. He said that the lift may cause the sway bar links to wear faster and that may be part of it.
