Angle on control arm after lift?

[zback]

So I put a rough country 2.5" on my 2016 AT up front, nothing in the back. I also have 295/60/20 on stock wheels. I was looking at the angle of my control arms at the end and it seems pretty steep. I was wondering yalls opinion? Would new control arms fix this or what? What are the long term consequences of this?

Did this to my 2005 Trailblazer and the ball joint angle looked exactly the same. Ball joints didn't last very long after I did that. I now have a 2015 Sierra that I wanted to do the front lift as well but wont due to warranty concerns. Ball joints are not cheap.

I had a ball joint failure @ 17k with a 2 inch level if that means anything to you. I would go 2 tops

Weird how it happens to some people. I have a 3" level on the front only. Yes 3" level on my 14 2wd and now have had it for 40k miles and ball joints are still fine. My truck had 45k miles.

That angle looks terrible. Depending on where and what kind of driving you do, your ball joints aren't going to last long.

 

I installed Cognito Upper Control Arms. Better angles, easy to replace ball joints and the build quality is solid.

Wow, I have the 2.5" RC with 33x12.5 and mine looks nothing like that. Have put 30 on it and it's perfectly fine

Looking at the pic again, I bet he took that picture with the front end still off the ground
