i think as long as you pick a big company that makes lift kits you wont have any problems with your truck going with going thru u joints or ball joints .they will provide you with any drop down brackets to re align any big angles . years ago (like 20 , yikes.) me and my brother both had ford trucks we jacked up , my was a 79 ford 150 that i had a rugged trail 6 inch suspension lift and a 3 inch body lift on 38 inch tires ,my brother truck was even higher with 44 inch tires ,neither of us went thru alot of parts and we drove them alot , i used to have cops pulling me over so they could check it out .back in 86 i was on the cover of peterson's 4 wheel &off road magazine. those trucks were fun.
