A true suspension lift will indeed keep the tie rod, CV angles, and balljoint angles at the OEM angles. (Though there has been a question whether the superlift drops the diff a full 4"... if it only drops the diff 3" then that would be like a 1" spacer on a stock truck in terms of CV angles).
On that note, have any pics of those front end angles with the kit set at 4"?
Also curious how much more down travel there is from that ride height?
Just to nit pick, there is a difference between OEM angle and OEM geometry.

Lol OK.
Just to nitpick. An angle is a geometric measurement. So yes, you are changing the geometry at which the suspension is functioning at normal ride height. But that's just semantics right? Everyone knows what we're talking about.
The point I was trying to make is that even the SL "kit" changes the OEM geometry.
The worst angle the cv shafts will see are when you have the wheels cut not because of a lift.
From the pictures I've seen of the superlift and all of the "real" suspension lifts I've installed on numerous vehicles, done properly the angles/geometry/etc are retained. That's what they're designed to do, and for good reason.
But say the superlift does slightly change the angles (its definitely not anywhere close to the angles of a 2" spacer or OME kit)... the difference between those angles and the angles at 4"+ are drastic.
Would still love to see some pics of the front end geometry of the JBA kit at normal ride height. Have any?
Also still curious of how much suspension down travel there is beyond normal ride height after installing the kit.
Some pics and more info would be great.
Were there any issues with the rear at 4"? Do you guys relocate the track bar mount?
