Thanks ITSAVE6, I was aware of that and I have them sat in the pockets, but I still have 1-2" of gap between the top of my wheel and the fender lip. It basically looks like it did with the stock springs.
I had a similar issue once I installed new springs and drop spindles, the pass side was 5/8" lower than the Dr side. Just enough to rub when entering or exiting some driveways. I measured the frame to floor clearance on both sides and it was the same so I am confident that the springs were installed correctly. It appears that the core support and fender on the pass side had sagged over 29 years. A little adjustment to the core support and fender, now both sides are even. Just a thought... Measure the frame to floor on both sides. Also removed the inner fender bolt at the top of the fender to gain another 1/4"
