Well I'll be a monkey's uncle...so 0 offset ballistic jesters will give me the same stance as this gentleman here? And back to the leveling issue with these 2013-14 is it the spacers or bilsteins that cause the UCA to bust?
EDIT: if this is happening to stock height trucks then shouldn't that constitute as grounds for a recall?

From everything I've seen, they can pop with any method of leveling. I don't know how many cases are popping up with stock height trucks popping the joints though. When I first started seeing this I though to myself it would happen to any truck with this issue that goes off-road enough for the suspension to travel the same distances as a level.

09-12's can handle a level on OEM components, however your components will wear faster. The 13/14's have almost no tolerance for anything out of factory spec.
Not to make this another UCA / Ball Joint thread, just wanted to advise the OP to look into something soon as possible to prevent failure.
Cloviz,
0 offset will push your rims / tire just slightly outside of the fender line. I have 20x9 -13mm offset, and my tires are about 1-1.5'' outside of the fender.

My level is a 2" Hell Bent Steel spacer. As mentioned, the stock chrome clads are +19 offset, so a 0 will move the wheel out, and it also has the least chance of rubbing.

Yours does look good with a cap. But I don't really need one lol.

I can't say for sure but I would bet it would be very close.
Can I ask what height of your truck is after the leveling kit and bigger tires? I'm trying to figure out what to do for a leveling kit, but need to be cautious of the height because of the garages I have to park in. Thanks.

I can measure it for you tomorrow. I never checked the overall height. I don't have to worry about to many parking garages up here where I live lol.
