Hard on the tri link and its joints

the question is why?

I've run and wheeled the same setup for a year or two now. I haven't had any ill effects, though the reason I put in the spacers was because of all the weight was sagging my springs pretty quickly. I'm currently sitting about 1-1.5" over most other lifted KJ's.

IF....you have a ton of weight then thats somewhat different, but running new OMEs and a 2.5 inch Daystar spacer is putting it up there. At that angle the rear tri link ball joint is at a pretty good angle and the boot is stressed and can tear
