Default Alignment issues

Guy's have a 2013 GMC 6.2, ext cab, lowered 4 and 7, and I cant keep it aligned, especially on passenger side, it has belltech off set bushings and keys with there adjustable struts which I'm beginning to not like as much as I thought, also the kit is a mcgaugheys, (spelled that wrong), anyone ran into something along these lines. THANKS!

What does the front consist of?

I run oem struts, oem control arms, belltech 2* upper bushings, mcg spindles and mcg coil relocators. I've had 0 issues with getting it aligned well over 50k now

Can't keep it aligned? Are the upper control arm bolts slipping? Stock bushings have this raised pattern in them which probably helps them grip. The belltech bushings are flat. I have wondered about them slipping but havent had any problems.

It is a base that moves the oem spring down on and oem strut. Basically "stock" front end parts with a 1-2" drop depending the "spacer" used
