WQbang, I've only been around one Pathy with the TM lift, and he does go through CL's and idler arms pretty regularly. I think in his case, however, it has more to do with the tires and wheels he's running than the lift, as he is running 31x13.50 Thornbirds on 15x10 rims. TM lifts can be used in conjunction with an A arm lift, and if one did both, then the answer is yes, you'd have the same issues. The TM kit uses a spacer on top of the steering knuckle to keep tierods at factory angles, but if you lift with the torsion bars after installing the TM kit, they'll have the same problems.
That is what I thought. Since the TM lift drops the front crossmember, you don't have the tierod angle problems that the A-arm lift kits have.
I am aware that they are stackable as well.
The one problem with the TM lift design is that fact that your torsion bars become vulnerable.
It think it is time for a TM email campaign. I emailed them a while back, as have others, but no news yet.
