I will raise the running board to be flush with the body and shorten the rear hang of the front fender and the front hang of the rear fender. (say that 3 times real fast!)
So talk to us about the differences a little more, does the fender mount to the cowl the exact same way as the 1/2 ton? Looks like the fender may be taller, and the hood difference is pretty obvious. Did you achieve your clearance goals? Do you have to raise the running boards or are you just trying to avoid being too low?
