Default Leveling kit

Looking to put a Rancho leveling kit on my 2015 Silverado 1500 LT 4.3L 6 Cylinder. I had a rough country leveling kit on my last truck and didn’t have any problems with it but have been told using puck leveling kits can put more stress on ball joints. Wondering if anyone has installed and used the Rancho leveling kit and what their experience with it was like.

The one for the front is basically a spacer that mounts on top of the coil spring so it doesn't change any of your geometry, it is essentially a body lift so it shouldn't place any additional stress. But having to take loose the upper ball joint, tie rod, and sway bar link in order to install it I would recommend an alignment following installation in the event you knocked something out of spec without knowing
