I replaced front struts, and upper control arms, and the front of my car sits high anybody know? I have about 3" gap from tire to wheel well.

 

Thats prob because they are new struts , and your old ones where shot , they have to bed in , how long ago did you do them and how many miles have you done since completing

 

Besides the need for shocks to settle, did you tighten the upper CAs with the suspension at ride height?

 

I did the struts aprox 4-5k ago and control arms 2 days ago I put the control arms back exactly were the old ones came out.

 

The struts should have settled by now. When installing the control arms, they need to be tightened "at ride height" so as not to prematurely wear them out. If you tightened everything down prior to leveling the car out, it may be a reason as to why you are riding too high.

What springs/struts are you using?

 

This is most like what happened... presumably you had the car on a jack stand. You should have used a hydraulic jack to compress the suspension when tightening all the bolts on your CA's. If you didn't do that, or something similar, that's why you're riding high...
