I think it comes down to the state of the existing suspension components along with replacing them with the best you can find.
For example, when I did my lift, I replaced all four strut assemblies, inner/outer tie rods, end links, and upper/lower control arms so yeah... My shit isn't wearing out prematurely.
hmmm... I had always assumed "all things being equal" would take existing problems into account. I'll try to check for that in the future. I think my assumption was always that the OEM front end is nearly eternal, so anything less would be due, in varying degrees, to suspension lift.
