When i narrow the arms, it does not affect any of the ability for the truck to lay out, with the extra travel the jeebus joint gets, and the angle i put the lower ball joint at, it does not affect it at all. I replace a lot of the 88-98 FSC arms because of that reason with them being too close to the damn fender, enough that turning while rolling low, is not an option with other arm. I like to build that into mine, so you can cruise your truck low, and still be able to change lanes or adjust your position in the road, still 1" off the ground.
I personally would not mess with the upper arm mounts on that model truck, not unless you start to roll on a 26 or so, then i would prefer to move some mounting points and adjust some stuff, but with what you got, there is no reason at all that you cannot bolt some arms on, lay out fine, and still have plenty of room to adjust your steering while rolling really low, or mid travel.

Jeff, send me your address. Your order was on the computer that got damaged in the flood.
Same with you Rob, shoot your address over.
