2018 Cherokee Trailhawk rear knuckle bushings keep failing

Hello everyone I'm looking for some advice on how to fix this issue myself. I've had the rear knuckle bushings on the passenger side replaced twice in the last 6 months. This was causing my tires to lean into the top and be negative camber. The tire shop told me that someone installed my 2-in lift incorrectly and did not put extended control arms on. That's why my coil spring is curved. Putting extra pressure on the bushings and that's why they keep failing. All of the research I've seen is a 2-in lift should be fine with stock parts. I do have one Inch wheel spacers and aftermarket Bilstein suspension lift kit. The last time the bushing failed on the passenger side it made the driver side tire wear more unevenly on the inside and be more negative camber not sure if that helps . I'm just not trying to pay a shop a bunch of money for something I can do any advice or thoughts as much appreciated
