Default Help cupping tires with leveling kit

I am not sure where to post this but i think this might be the right place. Anyways i have a 2006 dodge dakota 4x4. About 15k i put on a 2" daystar leveling kit and got 265/75 R16 Kuhmo M/T tires. Everything was fine for about a year, then my front tires started to cup a little bit. I replaced the struts and rear shocks with the rancho 5000's and rotated my tires. The 5000's are a great upgrade compared to the stock shocks and struts. Then about 5k miles later i noticed the front tires where cupping again. So i replaced the upper and lower balljoints on both sides with XRF zero tolerance balljoints and i replaced both cv axles since both axles where leaking. I aligned the truck and rotated the tires again. Now about 3k miles later after doing all of this work to the front end my tires are still cupping. They are cupping through out the whole width of the tire and are feathering on the outside as well. Has anyone ran into this problem or does anyone else have any other suggestions and my truck has 48k miles on it
