I have a 1998 limited with 200k miles on it with performance products yellow springs. Friday I added the Daystar 1.25 front and 1.5 rear spacers. I than added 285/75/16 Duratrac`s with no spacers. I was told that there was no rubbing on the upper arm or knuckle. I looked and it appeared way to close for comfort for me but took there word for it. I did hear rubbing and trimed the front corners of the fender flair. Saturday I went out on some logging roads and heard some minor rubbing sounds what I though was on the arms but I could not find any marks on them. I headed home thats when the SH@## happened. I pulled in my driveway and my upper ball joint pulled out which caused my lower ball joint to shear off. It broke my upper arm, lower arm, drive axle, abs line and brake line. I`m am thinking that the old ball joint failed because of the lift putting added pressure on it. I`m not really worried about fixing it what I want your guys help with is to fix it right so it does not happen again. What items would you guys suggest so this does not happen again. I have already ordered wheel spacers just for piece of mind.

Thanks in advance
