That looks great! I did my sub-frame like you did. I have drop spindles. With drop spindles, you are limited to 5" backspace. Any more than that and the tie rods will hit the wheel. 295's up front? I'm guessing your wheels have more backspace than that to get those tires inside the fenders. What is the wheel width and backspace, or offset?

If I recall, bottom of rocker panel is approximately 4" lower than the frame rails. Side frame rails under the cab approx 10"-12" from the ground would put the rockers around 6-8".
