Default Help with coil spacer lift

Hi guys, I just tried to install my 2 inch horse shoe style coil spacers. Got them in and the upper control arm will be rubbing up against the frame. Do I just need a longer control arm? Do they make such a thing? If so can I get a part number or a link to them? Thanks!

I installed the same coil spring spacer a few months ago, and mine rubs aswell. But only on down travel is where my upper control arm rubs. Other than that I have about half an inch gap in between the two. Your suposed to install the "lift" upper control arm but even the cheeper brands will still run you 300+....

I tried to connect the ball joint into the spindle. But right now it's hitting the frame. And doesn't go into the spindle very far. Once I take the jack stands out and put everything back together will it all kind of settle to a more normal position or should I just wait til I get bigger upper control arms etc.
