Coils hitting spindle

Hey I have a 2001 tacoma d-cab. I just finished putting on a fabtech 6 inch lift and put the 3 inch revteck spacers as well but now my new spindles are hitting the front strut coils. I don't get how to adjust them to not hit anymore. any help would be appreciated.

Yeah running 9" of suspension lift isn't the best idea. But...

You've got too much lift going on is the short answer. The larger the lift (and IM talking abotu the 3" spacers) the further the a-arms are going downward, and the shorter the distance OUT they are. hard to explain. You're best bet is to take out those spacers and replace with a 2" body lift or something. 3" suspension spacers usually do not cause problems, but, with the bulkier spindles Fabtech gives you, it creates clearence issues.
