after doing some research it seems it's a tire/wheel weight issue rather than a spindle
problem or related to lowering the suspension.
I installed new MOOG upper control arms today and the ball joints really seem to a bit undersized for the application.

I also had the exact same truck in an 07 2wd that I put belltech spindles on, I sold it to a friend so I will get him to bring it to the my shop for checking.
It has gm 20" wheels and general uhp's on it, we'll see how his is holding up
