Question 3.5 /6 drop need front tires that fit??

I had a 3/5 drop on my truck, bought some 275x60x15 tires last year, they fit great.

This year put in 2.5 " drop spindles and 1" drop coil springs in the front of the truck. I thought the front tires would fit, not. Seems the 3" drop springs I had on last year, were not a true 3" drop. The drop spindles also put my tires out to the outside fender now.

At first the truck sat fine, but the last couple days seems to be settling, I have about an 1.5 clearance before hitting the fender/ inner fender well, I am bummed.

Just curious what size front tires should be run on such a drop. Problem I have now, is don't want a smaller diameter tire, can't afford to have this thing drop any more, my lower control arms and collectors from my headers are about 3 inches off the ground now.

Please, any suggestions??

Thank you.
