Do these UCA/balljoint angles look ok?

2019 Ram 1500 Classic. I just installed bilstein 5100's at 2.8"and this is what the stock uca/balljoint angles look like. There is 3/4 of an inch clearance from the tire now with the stock uca's. I have Zone uca's to put on but I am concerned that they will rub on the tire. As a backup I also have Mevotech TXX uca's. If the Zones don't work out, do you think the Mevotech TXX's are a better option than the stock ones in the pic? My concern is the stock ball joint popping as a potential issue that is well discussed.20250429_110313.jpg

I will add some pics when I get it back from the shop. The axle angles looked good to me. I am just hoping that the Zones will fit without any rubbing on the tire. I discussed with my mechanic and his advice was that the Mevotechs were not as good of a quality as the OEM and if the Zones dont work out to stick with the OEM uca's since the baljoint angle isn't bad enough to worry about between the 2. Keep you posted.
