I didn't get a pic yet, but I busted out the dremel and went to town. I cut out a decent size piece of the drivers side inner fender and then rolled the fender. It's not rubbing at all any more and I have a ton of clearance now. I did measure both sides and for some reason the drivers side is about 1/2 inch lower than the passenger. Kinda strange, but I'm wondering if one of my drop shocks are blown - it has a lot more bounce on the drivers side just pushing on the truck on that side vs the passenger. I didn't notice anything when I installed the spindles, but I'll take a closer look.

these trucks sit lower on drivers side from factory noting new. You will need to either lift drivers side or pull spacer on pass side.

Ha, good to know that's normal. I don't have any spacers on the shocks right now. I could probably add one to the drivers side to even it out. Are the spacers an equal amount of 'lift' i.e. whatever the thickness of the spacer is will be how much it raises the truck?
