I think its a 2 1/2" lift I'm going through tie rods and ball joints like mad. Why?

My truck had a lift on it when I bought it. I'm not for sure weather or not the UCA's were changed. I'm guessing not. When I first got the truck it had 16'S on it and when I turned a corner my front mud flaps were torn right off. I figured it was the big tires. It as never felt right turning regardless of the tire size I had on it. I have ran several different sizes trying to figure it out. . I have gone through 2 sets inner/outer tie rods and 3 sets upper and lower ball joints in 7 years.
I am not a mechanic and really knew nothing about anything when I bought the truck. I remember someone saying the control arm seemed to short or something like that when I had the ball joints done the last time, thats what made me think that that is what the problem is.
I haven't driven it in a year because I refuse to put another set of anything on it until I figure out the reason its wearing like it does.
My tires also have worn really fast
I do have coil over shocks on it but they don't even seem any good anymore.
Any input or advice would be really appreciated.

 

Pics of your suspension bits might help.

 

lets see a photo of your strut.

 

Pics?

 

What brand of replacement parts are you using?

 

A first class alignment tech can tell you whats wrong in about 10 minutes.

You won't find many of those at big box shops or dealerships (sometimes, but rarely).

You may need to find a group of local car geeks to point you to the right shop.

 

Trying to upload photos but I guess I have to go out and take new ones as it doesnt give me the right options here to use ones I already have saved to my phone.
