Should I buy this truck?

First time buying a truck need advice

I really want to purchase a 1998 Chevy 1500, 200k miles. it’s lifted and the tires are a decent size.

I was talking to my uncle and he mentioned it’s not the best idea to purchase a lifted truck because of maintenance on the gears or something of that nature. I’m not a car guy but I really love the look of these trucks.

Am I ok buying a truck like this? I would like it to be a reliable truck but I’m unsure because of what my uncle mentioned to me.
