Take the faucet off, take it all apart, clean everything, put it back together. I wasn't cleaning my faucet often enough, was getting bad foam. Took it all apart and cleaned it. Also, after doing so, realized how bad stuff gunks up in there. After doing that, my foaming problem went away.
 
This one's rather rare imo, but I've read of a couple of cases where there was something functionally wrong with the beer line QD that was the cause of their foam problems.

Just throwing it out there...

Cheers! (...like a grenade ;))
 
If your regulator's low pressure gauge is 0-60, you could just simply be overpressurized by a few pounds. It's not easy to dial in with a range so high and it can be out of calibration.
 
Update. The thermometer I had inside keg measured the air and read the correct temp I wanted. After reading old threads I placed a glass full of water in kegerator and checked the next day and it was frozen! Temp was way too cold. I learned the hard way to never rely on air temp. I placed an aquarium thermometer inside glass of water and played with for days until I nailed an actual steady 36 degrees. Hope this helps someone else. Thanks everyone for all the suggestions
