That;s why I've only installed 2" leveling kits on my trucks.

They are too short... you just modified what they were designed for by 3 inches... now you need some after market UCA's

Rough Country has a 3 inch kit now and this is why it specifically includes UCAs.

3" is a little extreme and, may wear out the upper ball joints prematurely. However my wife's 04 Expedition has a 3/1.5 level on stock UCAs with 60k on level and 120k total miles without issue so far.

I've got a 2.5 lift on my 2004 and I sure wouldn't go any higher. In fact, I'm seriously thinking of changing upper control arms. Ball joints don't cost much but......
