The safest solution to this issue is run a 18" or bigger wheel.
Do you have a pic of the box? id love to check some ideas before attempting myself...

Note: The 3" spindle and 1/2 of a coil cut off was a bit to low with the 8" rally wheel /255-60 tire. It also due to the geomety made the lower control arm closer to the wheel and I had to trim more off of the lower control arm.
X2

UUUggghhhhh dont tell me thattt!!!! do you have any final product pics??
