Yeah---that worked out pretty slick! If I'm seeing it correctly, you're matching the bottom of the new rail to the bottom of the front clip, and pie-cutting the top to meet up with your new rails. You automatically get about a 2" semi-Z. Semi, because the top is z'd but the bottom isn't. The top of the new rail is lower, where the body sits, and that's all that matters (assuming you have an ingenious core support lowering idea!)

And the tie-in of the two looks slicker than pig snot!
