I have the same problem. 2-1/2" spindles and 1" springs with a BB and A/C. I removed the bolt that was hitting the tire. I'm also running a 275X60 tire on a 8" wheel. Just rubs a tad on the inner panel when I hit a bump and have extra people in it or am hauling some weight. I plan on going with a 6 or 7" wheel and 70 series tires on the front next time.
Just checked and I'm about 1" lower in the front at 27 1/2".
