In this picture showing a shackle installed from my flip kit you can see were the arrow points is were the drop shackle had hit the frame. I didn't notice this until after the drop shackles were removed. But additional drop may be had by having some clearance at this point.

I don't think it is anything to worry about but might add just a bit more drop by giving it some clearance.
