HELP! Truck is down.

Well I put the DR caster cams on my truck and now I'm running into clearance problems with my tires and fender. Tire hits metal part of fender barly. What I need to know is whats the length of the DR leveling coils and the length of the camburg ones. I'm going to go with the longer ones but if they are the same extended length then I'll go with the camburgs because they are cheaper and they are about 45 min. from were I live. Dam it I said this was going to happen and it did.

Well I'm have spacers and my caster went forward and my steering wheel has shaken since the spacers have been in. I have aluminum spacers and DR cams since about an hour ago. Well I was eventually going to do this the right way and it looks like I'll be doing it right tommorrow. I'm stressing out because I'm planning on leaving tommorrow night to go dirtbiking and was going to come back monday. Theres other trucks but my truck is preffered since it's a crew cab. And I'm stressing out because I've been spending a lot more money lately because of birthdays and that dam dashhawk thing. I saw that and was hooked and bought one of those but it hasn't arrived yet.

are we just talking about wheel spacers?? Cause those shouldnt affect any alignment angles other than camber......and that should be minimal....

Spacers under the front coils. The spacers are between the axle and the lower coil mount. The spacers push the axle down causing my caster to go forward. I need to pull my caster back to correct for the lift. Here's a site of what I'm getting. I'm only getting the coils since I have shocks and cams already.
