Suspension Lift on a 2wd xlt

Hello about a year ago i installed a torch coil spring lift kit on my 03 2wd and over time have noticed a few issues when coming to the suspension system. The first one is that since i did a coil spacer lift and nothing else my upper control arm has taken a lot of beatings aswell as the balljoints, my question is should i go out and buy a spindle lift kit and put offroad ball joints on my upper and lower control arms or should i completely replace the control arms for upgraded ones and if so does anyone have links to websites that offer replacements. Finding parts for a 2wd thats lifted can be difficult and fabrication isnt an issue at times. i do take the truck on light trails and plan to do so more often but i would rather have suspension that is made for it not stock lmao.

Thank you for your time

These are great questions. I have a 2002 and I'm dealing with the same issues. I think the spindle swap is the best but costs the most. An upper control arm with a modified ball joint angle plus longer coil spring is also an option. What was your solution for this?
