That will give me a little more room in the fender which will be beneficial when driving low. The 1-1/8" measurement was determined by the brackets I used to relocate my upper arms. Those brackets came from Suicide Doors and are the ones used with their raised cross member kit. The brackets moved my upper arms up and in by that amount so I had to match that with the lower arms.

From today.... The fender is just resting on the tire. I am going to have to raise the inner fender for it to mount properly.
When I modified my crossmember I didn't take anything out of the overall height of it. As it is now it lays out the same time the pinch does. Not sure if I am going to cut more off of it or not. :-\

Nice!  But how come you still have the hinges and door latch pin on the driver's side?  I thought you shaved those when you did the suicide doors....

Man that looks nice. But something funny when I started to build my sons truck I told him the higher the grades in school the more lift he got and if his grades dropped so does the truck. I think I'm going to use a picture of your truck to show him how low it can go if he don't keep up the good grades. He actually has done really well so he got a 6"lift but I like teasing him. Your truck is comming along good though keep it up or I guess down in your case. lol.
