3rd Gen Leveling Kits

[Jacobh93]

Had a few questions about the leveling kits for the 3rd gen Expys. Just moved my wife up from an 03 to an 08. I'd like to get either a 3/2 or a 2.5"/1" leveling kit, but I've read a bit about those causing issues with the suspension (ball joints and the like).

I want to go ahead and add a kit, but I thought I'd ought to replace some of the other stuff while I'm there for added durability. It has 110k on it, so high time anyway. Any advice on what all I should replace while I have it apart? Do the lifts cause any premature wear for you guys?

Thanks.

With the amount of lift you're looking for you shouldn't see any considerable wear on the suspension. While you're in there check ball joints, tie rod ends, upper control arms, and check the control arm bushings.
