Your truck is lookin' good! I like the way the brake lines are routed away from where a lot of engine heat sits
Control arms will definitely need to be loosened and re-tightened with the engine in. I think the fender bottom is higher than before the engine was in it and stock height.

Hoping to get a 2" gap between fender/tire, right now its closer to 5".
