What do you mean by "splitting"? Picture of what is happening?
I am assuming that you are talking about the front in a 4X4 ?

What 4” lift do you have? I’m assuming it’s one of your front cv axles. Is it the same side each time? Post a couple pictures of the cv axle so we can see the angle compared to the ground. Also post a picture of the whole front end frame with the crossmember and axles. Like this

If it's a 4" lift without a crossmember drop the angles are too steep. If you don't use the front axles just pull them for now. That way you can still find the truck and figure or save up on a solution "Better kit"
