Default 69k, bad ball joints twice already

I've got a 07 nnbs 1500 4x4 with a CCM 2.5" leveling kit and I'm running 305/55/20's on a 20x9 wheel with a +18 offset.

I had gm replace the ball joints at 61k and now at 69k they need changed again.... I understand they're going to wear out quicker with the lift but come on.. Not that fast. Is anyone else running into problems like this on a leveled nnbs? I've got some Moog ball joints(uca's and lower ball joints) ordered but I don't wanna mess with this bs if it's gonna be like this all the time..

Loud *** squeaking which lead me to check them. There is excessive amount of play in both uppers. I ordered lowers just because.
