"right" instead of 4x4 look:
I am guessing that stiffer suspension and bigger wheels cause more stress on the rest of the suspension components such as ball joints and controller arms?

I suppose I will need to check on my suspension more often than with stock springs and wheels.

Theoreticly yes, but I wouldn't worry about it. Just check it once or twice
a year, or take it to be aligned, and they'll check it for you.
