What Spindles do you have? I've never heard of shaving ANY parts for them to fit that I remember.
I have heard of using one year group of Dakota spindle & the hole for the tie rod needed reamed with a tapered ream I'm not sure which ones though
You may have to trim the LCA if using a Van LCA so the wheel will clear when you turn the wheels right to left

"Do you have Belltech spindles or Chassis tech?"
BulletBob, I have the Belltech spindles. What year was the truck you put your on?
I have been driving the truck for 2years or so with cut coils and van lca's. the spindles shouldn't change that any of that just the height of where the wheels mount.

Ramblebee, i am planning on grinding it down a little. how close is the tierod end boot to the rotor? or does the dust shield block it?
The boot wasnt making contact with the dust shield in that pic, it just appears that way.

Info from ElPolako at Industsrial Chassis: "We have found that if you use the BellTech spindles, you are limited to the stock Dakota rotors. The D-series truck rotors will hit the tie rod. BellTech has not only raised and shortened the steering arm, but now have moved it outboard. This has caused an interference issue, we have not had this issue with the spindles from Airbagit." http://www.industrialchassisinc.com/?page_id=281Greg
