2010 Ball Joint Problems!!

Has anyone had any problems with their ball joints on a 2010 f150? I just broke my second ball joint in the past 6 months. My truck has a 6 inch fabtech lift on it, but I really don't think thats what is causing this. First it was my driver, now passenger side broke. Both times I was backing up at full lock and it just snapped and my tire fell off pulling my front axel out. I know some people will say its because my lift is stressing it, but my truck rides just as smooth as stock and my ball joints are not at a sharp angle or any thing. Has anyone else had this problem with their truck lifted or not? If so can I get a better ball joint or is there something I can do?

Thanks
Tyler

I have a 2010 screw with a 6in bds lift on 35's. Had it since October 2009, so almost three years, without that problem. I only have 14k miles on it, but some of that is on rough terrain, deep snow, sand, mud etc. and haven't had any suspension components go on it yet. The only thing I've had to do was re-tighten some of the drop bracket bolts because stuff was shifting.
