First, if you've ground your wheel weights, consider having the tire shop use stick on weights next time for added clearance.
The way I do it is to put my jackstands under the control arms so the suspension is weighted (rather than hanging) and turn the wheels back and forth while I lay under there to see where it's rubbing and grind a little at a time, checking frequently, until they clear. Ironically, I have better than 10k pictures in my photobucket account of trucks I've built but I can't find one that specifically shows the process.
I suspect Keith has pictures of it though. He and I have discussed this a lot before. I'd imagine he will be along and read this thread some time.
