The massive offset on those wheels are an even bigger issue. It messes up handling and ruins the ball joints and wheel bearings, while making it more dangerous for cyclists and pedestrians and throwing stones in the air for anyone unfortunate enough to be near that thing in motion.

Don't forget the larger wheel with low profile tires extended out causes more strain on the suspension, wheel bearings and steering components because of the extra unsprung weight. Just think of holding a bike wheel while spinning it, swaying it side to side and the holding it out further. The larger rotating mass and wider wheels makes the steering heavier, causes the car to track, changed the scrub radius... More I can't think off.

I have yet to hear a real argument for lifting a truck whilst keeping the straight axle. The very, verrry marginal clearance gains for approach/departure angle while off-roading can usually be better achieved with a bumper delete instead, which doesn’t ruin the driving performance or increase your chance of rollovers. And instead of thousands spent upfront and extra maintenance cost later, removing parts is free.

Now, put some double wishbones and universal joints, that’s an immediately justifiable capability to pursue. But these mall crawlers with the magic pop-out steps are for emotionally stunted manchildren who are transparently buying into someone else’s idea of what a man is.
