Do you have rubber/ poly leaf pads? I HAD energy suspension leaf pads in the rear of my 68 camaro. My fender lips are rolled. With everything in the rear tightened properly my rear end could move around enough to rub on both sides from time to time. I went to a local truck shop that does lifts and builds leafs springs. They sold me metal spacers that were drilled in the middle with new leaf bolts. I took the bolts out of me DSE leafs and added the new spacers and bolts. I cut the bolts to length bolted everything back together and haven't had a problem since.
