removing bj spacers

Hello YT. Been a long time since I posted on here. I was building my 95 pu to wheel, got to the point of rebuilding an axle, and I lost all interest in building it to wheel. So now im gonna make it back into a DD. I put 31s back on it after taking off the 37s, and realized the stock BS'd wheels I put my 31s on hit the upper CA cuz of the bj spacers. I didn't put them on, I had a guy do it for me. Will I need to replace the upper control arm with one that aint been cut fro spacers? Or can I just take them off and put the BJ back on?

It'll work with the same control arm, I'd just buy new balljoints, cause who knows how long the old ones have been on there and their condition. Also, the studs pressed into the balljoints needed to be removed to install the spacers and replaced with 4" (ish) bolts, so you'd have to replace 8 bolts and nuts anyway if you keep your old balljoints.

Yea I plan on replacing the ball joints anyways. The front end on the truck is WORE OUT cuz of rock bouncing on 33s 35s and 37s over the last few years lol.
