My driver side front tire/wheel has taken a couple of straight on impacts on the face. (non-driving idiots) and I have a damaged knuckle and ball joints and probably unit bearing/hub. So am replacing everything both sides.
Another alternative is Currie's Rock Jock High Steer kit . It only requires 2.5" of lift and has iron knuckles. The kit raises track bar and drag link like 2.5" without a DL flip and a bump stop only a hair over 2" . May not be much help with high lift amounts but changed my JT with only 3" lift
