Exclamation Lift spindles and new rotors now abs rubbing on ring

New to the site.also new to f150's.i just bought a 01 f150 Supercrew 2wd.just did a lift spindle along with new upper and lower control arms new ball joints,tie rods,wheel bearings,pads and rotors.now for my question,now that I have done all this my abs sensor is rubbing on the abs ring that's pressed on the rotor.just wondering if anyone has had this issue before and knows of a fix.tried searching but haven't found much.i was thinking of opening the hole that the sensor goes into on the spindle so I can move it up a bit to clear the ring.sand the ring down some.let me know if you guys can help.thanks in advanced.

IIRC shimming the sensor away from the ring would be best. apparently the new spindles were machined wrong.

There is no shim, you have to make one using a flat washer.
