the upper extension bracket is already designed to work as a ball joint spacer and would be unwise to add ball joint spacers to it.

I would deeeeefinitely advise against BJ spacers. When I first installed my kit I had lo-pro bumpstops. The cvs bound at full droop, full lock. Ran em anyway and guess what? They snapped.
I ended up taking some Pep Boys beehive style stops and shaving them down to where it doesn't quiiiiite bind at full droop full lock. It took a couple sets and some trial and error.
And I'm still running lo pro up-stops. But I'm pretty sure that's all the travel you can get out of the kit before you go to RCVs or Porsches. Which I'm looking into. Cuz I got a locker up front and stuff still breaks.

I've had my LT kit for about 3-4 months now and used OEM Toy t-100 axles with my locker and stock bump stops. Havn't broke 1 cv yet and i've used my front to pull my whole truck up some stuff since I have no rear locker. but I'm shure it depends on how hard you floor it, I try to ez into the gas when useing only the front, no snaping force.

like said before the kit has a b/j spacer built in and if you used another b/j spacer the tie rod link would bind at full droop unless you can make a vertical extention between the steering knucle and tie rod. prob would over extend the upp contol arm at full stuff too
