how to tell UCA ball joint for a level lift?

[Exhausted]

really wanting to do the Rough Country 2.5 Leveling lift that raises the front 2.5" and the rear 1.5"
I'm really worried about the UCA ball joints. is there a way to tell if you have the bad ones on a 2013?

There's no such thing as "bad ones".
Some just hold and some don't.

What are the upper control arms people are replacing the stockers with?

I didn't have a problem with my other 13 4x4 till it had 13k miles and was just barely noticeable and I actually took my truck off road and drove it hard sometimes. I have seen them pop on one right after install so you never know.

13/14 have different uca's than the 09-12 so if you want to do that lift and your worried about it you need to do aftermarket uca's I have herd of some replacing there 13/14's with the oem from 09-12.

You can also swap the 9-12 UCAinto a 13-14 truck to resolve it

Mevotech arms are the most popular. They're only $90 for the set from RockAuto.
