Default suspension lift

i have a 2004 dodge ram quad cab and i put on a 3" body lift a year ago. well this weekend i put on a 6" fabtech suspension lift. the manufacture states that you can use the factory 20" wheels but mine are hiting the control arm ball joint. anybody run across this same problem and what to do about it.

Wheel spacers or offset wheels are your only choices, a common issue with the Fabtech kit. Also, it's really a 5" kit so keep that in mind when choosing tire sizes...
