HD Shackle Relocation brackets rubbing

Why dont you just move the shackles into one of the bottom holes instead of the top ones? Looks like that would solve everything.

That's what I ended up doing. The reason neither of us wanted to do so is the added height. I went up a full inch, but some portion of that is due to an empty gas tank. I'll prime the spots that were rubbing and put it through its paces next weekend, but think this is the sweet spot. Wish it didn't mean I need to spring for a SYE, the ACOS to level the front, and can't fit in my parking garage!

The spring eye bushings aren't in great shape. This plus the binding of the bracket resulted in a fair amount of deflection:
