The more you change the Z angle of any U-Joint, the sooner it will
wear out, the higher chances of vibrations during that faster wear
and the loss of power because of the higher Z angle
Larger tires...I love to fill the wheel wells and the apparent dia
when aired down...has some down sides too. More centrifugal weight,
therefore lower ride quality (not on my have to have list), larger
moment for the brakes to manage and harder on your joints
Of course higher CG and the rest of the suspension must be re-designed
Better would be body lift that has no change in the OEM Z angle
