I was initially going to cut my front springs by one full coil, but when I lowered the jack, it was obvious that the suspension components were drastically close together, meaning they almost bound up when you made any turns. I'd bet this is your situation. I bought a set of 2.5 inch lowering coils up front, and 3 inch drop spindles for my build and everything is where it should be, no where close to hitting any of the components. One question for you....look at how your tie rods are attached to the center link (drag link),are they behind the center link, or are they in front of it.....it does matter.I'm not questioning your abilities here, just wanted to point out that it is possible to mount them that way.hope this helps.
