I just picked up a 03 ranger xlt 2wd 3.0 and the front end was worked and seemed way outta wack! Had minimal to no clearance on the uca to the frame so I replaced both upper control arms (because of ball joints) and driver side lower control arm (ball joint honed out were its pressed in) has the maxx trac 3inch lift spindles and stock size springs

I tried to get it aligned it had some camber issues the top of the tires were towed pretty bad so I installed the camber adjuster washers and the only could get the drivers into spec and passenger still isn’t right and the uca and ball joints seem to still be maxed out idk what to do now I just want it reliable I just want to fit the 31 10.50 15s I just got

 

If you have stock springs, the control arm wouldn't be touching the frame. Either the truck has lift coils, or it has coil spacers. Those are the only two things that would cause the upper control arm to touch the frame.

 

That’s what I was thinking originally and the springs I just put in are stock size is what is said for my truck and there was not any spacers so idk I’ve been losing my damn mind over it now

 

Where did you get the springs? Do you have the part number from them? The only other thing that *might* cause that is if the coil spring isn't seated correctly. But I wouldn't think that would be enough to cause the upper control arm to touch the frame.
