Default Upper Control Arm

I recently installed a 3" rough country lift on my 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 2wd and I added the level spacer on top of the 3 inch taller coil and now my upper control arm is at such an angle that it only has about 1/4" of travel before hitting the shock/coil tower, is there any control arm that has a U shape that will fit around the tower?



You can see the upper control arm clearance right here

I will if I absolutely have to, but do you know of any control arms that will clear it?

none. I had the same issue when i had spacers in.I ran it that way for a couple of years but finally had enough of the noise it made going over bumps.I took them out and got 3" lift spindles instead. It did a better job than the spacers did and lightened up the ride also.
