I weould just go with a smaller lift. Once again, that's just me. It's up to you.

when you hit bumpstops it causes the balljoints to get loose by pushing the plate up on them, the upper bj you can take out the zerk and hammer the crimp and plate back down to tighten it up, id have to look at a lower but i would bet the same can be done there.

So you think 4" spindles is still too much lift ?

No bumpstops? And you are wondering why your ball joints keep failing?

Seriously i dont drive hard or jump my truck, it drives up and down the highway and i have never needed bumpstops for highway use............

I did plan on getting some but cant seem to find stock bumpstops so i gave up looking

Normal driving can make use of bumpstops. When your front suspension travels more than the distance between your upper a-arm and where the bumpstop should be (my truck that is only 1.5" or so), then everything is taken outside of its designed limits, ball joint especially. Everytime you hit a pothole that is more than 2" deep you are probably close to snapping your ball joints clean.

Probably true, but i didnt hit any pot holes or any thing else. Anybody know where i can get bumpstops ? ive looked everywhere

You'd be better off making your own, they'll have to be welded on regardless.

Why cant i use the stock bumpstops
