6.5" rally and 3" lowering spindles

On my 84 GMC I have 3" spindles and 6.5" rallys. I've modified the lower control arm, by removing the lip. My wheels still rub. Does anyone else have this combo and made it work or do I need to move up to a 7" rally or do I need to trim the control arm back a little mroe.

I ran that combo on my old '74. You probably just need to trim the arms a little more.

Figured out where I was rubbing. From the shaved wheel weight I can tell I hit the weight. So I'll rebalance the wheels and use stick on weights.
