Questions about the RC 6"

[T YUK]

I have a 98 Yukon 4 door. I'm wanting to lift it with the 6" RC. I'll be running 35" M/T tires. I've heard several people say that these year vehicles are very bad about front end problems once they have been lifted. I've heard I should go to solid front axle, I'll be replacing ball joints every few months, I'll have to upgrade the front axles, I'll have to get an extended drive shaft and the list goes on and on! I've had several lifted 70s and 80s gm trucks and a few Jeep's but never a gm full-size SUV. Is this project going to be a pain in the a$$ or what?
