Lifted 2006 ranger 1'5 inches in front - torsion bar and keys lift with 2 " shackles in rear. Bilstein shocks all around. Now the upper control arm hits the frame!
Not sure what I need to fix the issue. Some say new modified control arms other say extended ball joints. I have looked up everything and every manufacturer and found nothing.
Any help or direction would be appreciated.

Thanks
Henry

Lead follow or get out of my way
I personally say... put the factory torsion keys back in and don't turn the bars up so far.

That's the trouble with the lift keys... they force the arms down so far you have no down travel left in the suspension.

Not to mention you're gonna wear out ball joints and arm bushings really quick... probably add axle shafts to the list too.

Crossed threads are tight threads.
Not to mention the ride quality probably sucks now too
