There is a lot of wasted space when using stock or stock-shaped inner fenders. I pulled the coil springs out of mine and cycled the suspension with 28" front tires just to make sure everything cleared with my setup and tried to build it just a little bit outside those parameters. That way I know everything will fit and not rub, but will maximize underhood space. I feel good that I achieved that with my inner fenders. Where that A/C compressor mounts I easily gained 5" of horizontal space over what the original inners allowed.
