I have a 6" lift on a 2wd supercrew and I replaced the UCAs camber caster bolts lowerball joints sway bar end links tierods idler arm pitman arm and centerlink by the time i drove from my house to alignment shop my idler arm was shot preventing them from doing the alignment this happened 2 more times and on the 4th idler arm it made it to alignment but just a week later my passenger side inner tie rod is hittng the frame and there is play in the idler arm. Why do i keep destroying idler arms?

I checked all the parts to make sure they were correct the only thing I am unsure about is the UCAs. I dont know if I needed longer ones but I have checked everywhere I can think and can't find any for my truck so right now it has stock UCAs.
