Default Alignment! Need help fast!!

i have a 01 Z71 1500 with a 1.5" BL, 3" RC leveling kit (keys cranked), 1.5" rear shackle lift on 33" Nittos. i cant keep a good straight alignment, idk what else to do, the stock arms didnt give enough adjustment so i got adjustable upper ball joints which dont work they keep moving on me, my wheels are bowed in at the top and idk how to get a good solid front end to keep an Alignment, i want to but the most heavy duty front end stuff i can get, i was thinking the cognito pitman idler support, cognito idler bracket, and the only thing i could think of for the upper arm is the cognito upper control arm, but idk if itll help me or not, i want my truck level so thats why i have the keys cranked since i have those shackles, should i just buy stock shackles? and lower the keys down more to get better adjustment? and also does anybody know if the cognito heim joint tie rods will work with just a leveling kit?
anything will help me, i just need to fix this quick!
Thanks, Blake

Don't they make aftermaket adjustable camber bolts, you could just get a set of those instead of using adjustable ball joints.

Offset upper control arm bushings, plus aftermarket eccentrics should give you enough adjustment. Good luck!
