as for tire to fender I have 3.5" of clearance. Remember when you ride these trucks low your going to need some clearance for turning. having then this low your always going to rub some where ( its just the nature of the beast) question is, when you get a good turning radius do you want it to rub on the outer lip of the wheel opening of the fender or the frame. I pick the frame because its a smooth surface and no one will ever see the rub mark . the wheel opening on your fender is going to chew up your tires and even worse damage your fender a bit. mine rubs just ever so slightly on the frame at full steering lock. hope this helps.
Thanks so much, I really appreciate it. I will message you some measurement tomorrow. What you say makes total sense. I went with the Scotts Hotrod superslam after talking to you a while back. Great kit.
Your project is looking great!! So awesome to see it come together.
