Hey everyone, I'm new here!
I know this issue might be common, but I’ve been searching for a solution for a long time with no luck.


I have a 2017 Dodge Ram 2WD running a 6-inch Rough Country lift kit, and I’m facing a problem where the upper control arms (UCAs) are making contact with the coil bucket.


I’ve already tried a few different aftermarket control arms, but I keep running into the same issue.
Has anyone here actually found a fix for this?


Has anyone tried using a spacer at the ball joint or some kind of custom modification that helped?


Any advice or experience would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Could the control arms have been mounted on the wrong side of the truck ? Seems like I heard something similar awhile back.
Might be time for some measurements.
I would confirm this!

I don't think yours are on the wrong side. Those air-ride link nipples are supposed to be on the front the control arm as far as I know. (circled in my pic)

I think we need some more pictures of the rest of the lift kit to help you out.
