rear suspension problems

[aany001]

anyone here ever have trouble installing their leaf springs in a 69 camaro with a DSE mini tub kit??? I have my rear end shortened 2" per side (I have a stock 10 bolt 8.5) my rear wheels are 18X12 with 6.125 back spacing and when I bolt my wheels on the tires touch the leaf springs???? I loosened everything off from the leafs and raised the diff off of the leafs and pulled the leaf springs together inboard away from the tires with some racheting tie downs and bolted everything down again.With a 1/4 spacer between the rim face and axle face I have barely 1/2 of clearance between the tire and leafs!! What am I doing wrong???? Someone please shed some light on this before I lose it!!!
