Your car looks great. I highly recommend getting rid of your leaf pads before trying to raise the car. DSE told me to get rid of my leaf pads and like I said I've had no rubbing since. I found a local place that does truck lifts. I purchased a 1/4 inch plate that was about the same length as my leaf pad was and I purchased New leaf bolts. I took the bolt out of my leafs added the plate and new bolt, trimmed the new bolt to length and have been good to go since.

Even if you end up having to raise the car up a bit you will notice a slight performance gain getting rid of the rubber pads. In stead of seeing deflection in the rubber the suspension will be able to do its job.
