Tubular upper control arm cross shaft hitting k member - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Does anybody know if this is typical for the tubular upper control arm cross shaft to hit the k member bracket?
I bought the upper and lower control arms from classic industries after getting my frame powder coated so I'd like to avoid grinding the k member if possible.
The pictures show a thick washer and a normal washer which was enough to space it out and not hit but I'm wondering how much that will affect my camber. It's about 3/8" of a spacer.
I'm running drop spindles and a 1" shorter front spring for a drop.

What would be the best way forward in your opinions?
