front axle clearance after 5.5 suspension lift

[gotmud?]

looking to pick up a twin stick 93 ranger super cab on the lift notes they say the front pumpkin may contact a lift bracket possibly causing damage is there a fix for this?

Install a big long bumpstop extension, or (better) replace the offending drop-extension plate with a real lift bracket that provides better axle clearance.
I've also seen at least one user here cut off the offending part of the bracket, then weld the bracket to the plate.

Better quality lifts (Skyjacker, James Duff) will come with brackets that don't create the pumpkin clearance issue. Kits that use a drop-plate extension for the OE bracket (Rough Country, BDS, Superlift prior to 2003 or so) are the ones to have the issue.

Your picture go me thinking I have never had that issue then I read what you typed/ I ran a skyjacker class II for several years then swapped to a james duff. Both kits had plenty of clearance to the point I feel the springs would bind long before the pumpkin would contact.
