Its hard to say, there are a lot of varriables at play with your truck, its hard to speculate without having the truck here in person.

I would guess to say, with the amount of BD your doing, your going to be very close. if you raise the uppers enough, it will certainly help you out.

can anyone post some pictures of the upper a arm mounts raised. i've seen a few but would like to get some more ideas.

well i lucked out so far. the spindles are already tapered for the tie rods to go from underneath. i guess someone put new tie rods and installed them wrong. or right depending on where it was done lol

i am almost done making me some mounts that will bolt in and i will probably weld also for added support. i'll post some pics when i get them done on the cnc machine.

my next question is what did everyone do with the shock mount for the front.?. reweld it to the new mounts or make a new mount off the frame for the shock mount itself.?.

If you simply raise your upper control arms straight up it will create bumpsteer issues. They should also be moved out to be inline with the lower control arm bushing and your rack pivot. When you start moving pivot points on a suspension things start to get alot more technical.
