How often are you going to be at full droop? Not very so you should't have any probs with wear, but if you don't like it run a small spaer made of plate steel bolted into the spring pack as thick as it needs to be to eliminate it 1/4 or 3/8" should cover it, that's what I did but I used a relocating plate to get my axle an extra inch forward at the same time.

Well, I will be at full droop probabally a dozen or so times a trip. Plus when I jump it. I think it will be enough that I wll have a problem.

And I am not understanding this spring plate. If it bolt it between the axle and springs, it will lower the axle, not raise it, so that would make the problem worse.

Sounds like your thinking I have a horizontal clearence problem, not vertical.
