Ah I didn't think about that -- they don't seem to make one I guess. I guess I'll run into this same issue... a couple of ideas:

- Taller upper ball joint to swing the arm out away from the engine a bit (depends on arm placement at ride height)
- Longer cross shaft bolts and extra solid spacers
- Slice the control arm near the bj and weld back together, adding some material

The last option would allow you to correct the ball joint angle at the same time by taking a pie-slice out of the sides of the control arm. I don't recall anyone with a drop requiring any of this though (besides bj angle).
