leaf springs need to be equal (or close to it) so if you take 7" off of the front you need to take 7" off of the back also. Going to make a really short leaf. Post pics, where is the interference? Can you move the hanger down? (or fab one like Hombre321 said) For ride height you can de-arch the springs/remove leafs or possibly flip the axle.
