Whoa......
For some strange reason I don't think the damage to TOPFLOR'S truck was caused by the lift! I have wheeled a lot of my previous trucks (all BowTies) hard and never ended up with those problems! Maybe it was the brand of gasoline he was using, or possibly the motoroil, I heard if you use Castrol, you can 'drive hard'..... hehehe.....

KIT!
Just make sure whatever life KIT you get is 100% complete. Years ago I lifted a truck with a so-called kit. I had to scrounge parts for weeks to get everything right.
I understand that today there are better systems out, I do not know that much about who has what but I would say this don't just shop price! Make sure the system is 100% complete you don't want to start looking for stuff with the truck on jacks.

i was running 315/75R16 Maxxis Buckshot Mudders on 16x10" rims. They are the same tires as the ones shown in the 8" with 35's gallery.
The before lift section was with add-a-leavs up front and a 1" block in the back. Surprisingly, even with them being add-a-leafs the ride wasn't even that bad compared to stock. Not a bad price to get those tires in there. No rubbing either.
