No in fact I’m raising the front by 1/4 “ for more comfortable clearance.
No turning issue but a hard bump will make slight contact, I’m sure the 1/4 inch will do the job-plus I changed all the fender well bolts to a flat rounded head Allen to get ride of the sharp regular bolt head. I don’t believe it’s hitting the bolts , did it just in case

What is your brake setup? Any chance that it has widened your track width enough to give problems? Wheels are 0 offset?

I have Stock Disc brakes from a 1972 truck. Not sure about the widening but I’ve heard some do. Front wheels are 8” x 20 with 4” off set (centered) same as the Rallies were. My front tires are just shy of a 1/2 “ from the wheel well at the top of the tire. There is a smooth lip just before the bolt area that makes contact on a hard bump. That’s why I raising the front anther 1/4 “ and Still have 3\4” rake

Will be doing the tomorrow and will take pics and measurements
