Have you tried the offset ball joints, they might correct the angle enough to not wear out so fast.

If you have a 2wd truck, the balljoints are a pain to do. You have to drill them out as they are riveted on.
Good thing is once it's done if they wear out again, you only have to undo the 3 - 4 bolts for each one on each side, and slide in the new ones.
Also, good idea to get an alignment once you redo these.

Id look at some Zones Upper Control arms. They are made for Lifted Trucks to not put the stress on the ball Joints. This is why they say to replace them if your going over 2.8 inches with something else so you don't have this issue. Id check out the Zones but there are other manufactures that make them also.

This is the 2nd gen section, no zone uca's for our trucks. Though if OP went with spacers bigger than 2" he will need new uppers. i think Doetsch tech is the only ones who still make them. Fabtech used to.
