re: Educate me on leveling lift kits

I put a 2 inch level on a 09 Silverado. Upper ball joints gave out at 40-50k miles. Luckily I had the truck in the shop due to tire noise and the tech pointed it out to me. If I had to do it over would buy a set up that comes with new, beefier upper A-arms and ball joints. Can’t remember the manufacturer’s name. It really does change the geometry significantly. Wouldn’t go over 2 inch level for sure.
