IRS - Tires rubbing on shock springs
Happy Thanksgiving Eve, everyone!
I finished mounting the IRS and Wilwood brake upgrade. I did the rough alignment according to the manual for both the upper control arms and toe arms of 11 1/2'' and 17 3/8'' respectively.

I then mounted the rear tire to continue to set the rough camber and toe alignment and I'm finding that the springs of from the coil-over shocks are rubbing on the tire.

I checked to see if perhaps I had too much negative camber but the level is coming out right smack in the middle.

Here are my UCA and toe measurements for sanity check.

At this point, I see two options and wanted to check with the gurus: Do I flip the shocks (as it seems body up/spring down would fix the problem) or do I extend the UCA and toe distance by about 1/2''?
Thank you, and hope all your turkeys are defrosted already!
