98 f150 4x4 lift problems

I have a 98 f150 ext cab, 4x4. I have a 3" body lift, 5" rough country rcx suspension with 20x9 XD spy's and 37/13.50/20 super swamper m16's. and just put 3" leveling keys to squat my truck. Well, in the fun process I ended up having to turn them allll the way down as low as I could because the upper control arms were sitting flat on the bump stops. For a momentary fix I cut about 1.5" off the top of the bumpstop bracket so I would have a hair of front suspension still left haha. But anyways, all my angles are awful. I've already broke the cv's which I needed to replace anyways thank goodness lol. My theory is, with new extended upper arms and ball joints, is there a company or any way I can get new drop brackets for the front end to fix the bad angles so I don't have to remove the keys? If I could find bigger drop brackets to drop the front chunk assembly it would solve that wouldn't it? Help.

Aftermarket torsion bar adjustment keys are a terrible accessory. As you found out, they will destroy your ride quality and front end components. You need to remove them and buy a larger lift kit.
