I dont see why it would hit. If u remove the zero rate and add 8" then u actually gained a inch of clearance. Right now u have 7" of lift. Jack the truck up, put a stand under the frame. Now lower the axle and let the spring relax one inch, see what u have for clearance, That is basically what u will have for a loaded 8" spring, PLUS one more inch clearance once u remove the zero rate.

Yes I know this is not 100% acurate, but its the best u can do with what u got for guessing if it will work.
