It would depend on how low the truck is going to be & how tall the wheel/tire combo is.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Well the truck is bagged and its a 86 c10. I planned on 22's. Truck doesn't lay frame cause I didn't want my bed cut up, so aired out I sit about 3 inchs off the ground.

If you want to lay the front out, then yes the AC unit will be in the way. If you don't mind just bottoming out on the front wheel wells, then just make them as high as possible without interfering with your AC.

Re: trailer fender wheel tub question?

So with that being said I take it that the weight of the truck won't bend the welded in trailer fenders when bottoming out?

As long as you put them high enough the wheel can't touch them you won't have to worry about it.Some i have seen took the stock inter fenders and cut the top off and made them taller so it looked more stockish.
