68 Drop Help Please

Not sure what PO had, but, just added drop spindles, ordered new springs. Right front sits 1 inch lower than right. Hoping new springs will solve this issue.
Biggest issue. Right wheel/tire sit outboard 1 inch further than left leaving not much clearance at all for tire to tuck into fender. ( tire will not hit outer fender but will require some removal of inner fender as to not rub. Anyway to correct this or am I stuck with this. (without major rehab) i.e. need to shift entire front section to left 1/2 inch. Ha!

Advice?

I love this stance, but dont think I will be able to keep it........ : (

I've had a couple of vehicles where the REAR springs caused front to sit un level. Your whole truck may not be square on the frame. It is possible to loosen all the mounts and twist things around.
