Default 2.5” level and block question help

So i have the steel readylift 3” installed in my 06 4wd. Also installed a 3” block in the rear. I understand this puts the cv axle and ball joints under a lot of stress. I also understand that better UCAs can help “alleviate the stress”.

Is there anything else that could help alleviate the stress? Im pretty sure a new UCA wont save me from the dreaded 3” level. It didnt measure out to 3” so maybe ill get lucky.

I’m cheap, young, college student. What should I do?

2.
what UCA would you recommend best for heavy leveling kits? ive heard that BDS is good but its pricey.
thanks

3.
if i have a equal 3” leveling kit, and a equal 3” block, would that put things at better angles for the axles and joints? It makes sense in my head, but, probably not.

4.
did i mess up my truck? Im honestly just newat this stuff so anything will help

UCA's are not gonna help your CV angles.. only thing that will help is a. lower the size of the spacer or a new steering knuckle like what you install when lifting the front end properly.
