Default Leveling kit smooth out raised tbars?

So I have my tbars cranked up to allow my 285's and it rides like a box of rocks. Ive been trying to do some research but who knows...I want a lift kit but thats next years purchase. What would, if anything, smooth out the ride and help lower any wear on the front end? Ive been seeing that Cognito has things to reduce the wear with new control arms or something...

the cognito arms alter the angle on the upper ball joints so the wear on them is a little less. they dont allow you to raise the truck higher neither will keys, the suspension has limiting stops on the frame to keep t from getting too high.

for me its not worth it but im cheap
