two reasons. travel and price. balljoint extensions are hard to find. and u still retain 20ish degrease max misalignment. with the bushing and small bracket it would be cheaper then extensions and allow travel only limited by the strut and lower ball joint. so with a pair or coil overs 15 or so inches of travel is easily obtainable. im not downing extensions. its a good idea. im just after way more travel.
