with a 2.5" spacer on the 2wd 1500's, it will actually put it 1/4 of an inch higher in the front...it did for my 2007 ram anyways, it turned out perfect tho, at normal glance it appears perfectly level..here is a link to the spacers if anyone is interested...

It is probably the upper A-arm hitting the spring bucket.. It will happen unless you get aftermarket A-arms or new spindles.

Where can I find the 3" CST spindles?

its just barley touching the comer of the spring bucket when it hits. Im talking right on the edge. wonder if it would be ok to use a grinding wheel and shave the edges just enough to clear. I been looking at the 2005 and 2009 models and the control arms are not as wide and thick on those models. hope to have this figures out soon. my procomp 33 12.50 17 wheels and tires are gonna be here tom marrow. I HATE this 20" wheel that comes stock on these trucks. I live in west virginia and we have horroble winters and i really don't wanna hear that banging all winter on the ice
