Cool OME Lift vs Ball Joints

Ok, so after reading wayoflife's Chrysler nightmare post and other people's related stories, is an OME 2" lift gonna mess with my ball joints? The death wobble really isn't in my game plan. . .

Umm, lifts are not going to have any affect on your balljoints. Running larger, heavier tires and wheels will accelerate wear and stress on the crappy oe joints though.

You can experience death wobble even at a stock JK.
