OK, here we go. I crawled under there and there was interference with the front driveshaft. I took out 1.5" and everything clears nicely now. The first picture is of it laid out to be cut, and the second is with it welded up and bolted in. Of course, if you do the same thing, you can just cut the 1.5" off the top before you weld on the flange. That's on the passenger side - on the driver's side I didn't have to cut any length.
