Default Roller Rocker Bodies hitting Spring Retainers

I'm running 1.50" springs and my Crane Gold's are touching the spring retainers. The roller tips are about 5 thousandths off the tops of the valves. The pushrods are already +.200". Add another tenth or two to the pushrods? I think that's the answer, that seems like it will clear plus I think it would square up the valve train geometry a little better. I could grind a touch off the bottoms of the rockers, but that makes me nervous. Any input is greatly appreciated--thanks in advance--GD

Get some longer rods.

An adjustable push rod will help you find the right size to get clearance and the correct sweep across the valve tip.

Definitely what Agent86 said, look at the roller tip where it sits on the valve stem, it's way off.
