Mine will be up along the fender top inside edge in tube -so it should be good and safe. then it will run just under the top radiator support across to the other side for headlamp and signals. Yours looks clean with the stock inner fenders. My innners are going to be all new sheet metal and formed to fit around the headers and new upper A-Arms.... just gotta be custom!!!!

You can get plywood up to an inch and a half pretty easily, or just stack two 3/4-or less, depending what you need.
Yea I was thinking of wood, then tacking metal over it but just alot of welding. Kinda screws up the step attachement too.... Im just gonna take the axle apart and drill the flanges. Seems easiest.

Thanks Dug - It was a head scratcher at first trying to figure out the best way.... but once we decided, we just started cutting and welding.... My favorite mod of this build.
