I don't remember that the alt was the problem on mine, but I did have some interference with the brake booster. I ended up having to go back to stock height ones on my 2wd Blazer.

Alternator was a problem for me,I went back to shorter covers.I do remember reading somewhere though about a corvette alternator bracket that will do the job for our trucks.If I find the info I will post it.

I Had To Grind A Small Place Off The Housing Of My Alt. No Big Deal

Same with mine hitting the booster. I have Scorpion RR's, so I need the taller covers- ended up buying a hydroboost setup (no booster) out of a junkyard and have to do the swap in order to pull the driver side cover.
