i dug out the mounts i just cut off and this time used a magic device called a tape measure, this is how far the mounts were off.
much better.
working on the front clip, got a couple bolts in to see where the lower air director needs trimming. the front will drop an inch or two, once i do that and the wheel will be exactly centered, right now its juuuust slightly back
you can see the running boards will be about even with the bottom of the frame, thats the goal anyway. I know i can reuse the universal bed mounts I made for my 47-55.1 kit, maybe the running board mounts too, we will see.
