Cannot get full front suspension rebound.

Help!!! I am pulling my hair out. My 71 Duster, the suspension doesnt droop all the way. In fact it is 1.5" off of the bumpstops.
Parts list:
Hotchkis late A tubular uppers
Late B spindles.
Late A lower ball joints. K781, 783
Hotchkis adjustable strut rods
71 lower control arms
71 k-member

It appears that my upper ball joint is binding on the spindle.
Did I eff up my parts combination? Any ideas? Is the fact that it will not fully droop going to actually be a problem with 1.07 t-bars and Bilstein shocks?
