Of course any time you change the geometry of say the front suspension its going to wear parts somewhat faster, tie rod ends, ball joints, rear ujoints, CVs are all put on more of a strain and can wear out quicker.
With that said my left side CV lasted over 170,000 miles being lifted ( at 190,000 miles) , lower ball joints have been replaced once in 207,000 miles , one tie rod end, and rear ujoints 3 times ( once due to stupid trans replacement and their screwup) , right side CV 3 times but not all due to being worn out
A lot also depends on how you treat it on and off road as well
One of the things I have seen after lifting one is the rear ujoints, they were working OK before lift worn but OK, but the angle change finished them off

Maybe the only one that I've heard of. Only reason mine failed was due to mud and grime that got trapped and ruined them

Seems the intermediate shaft and rear uca likes to take a dump more often as well
For me on the ones I've done it's been front sway bar or sway bar link bushings. Once they wear in stock they seem to wear different with a lift like Tommod said. I think there pretty much shot when the springs are baged out anyways. Seems like it's the dreaded clunk over a bump after doing a lift if it does clunk even if they do look good and are torked proper?
