Unfortunately when we went to put the Porterbuilt hood hinges on we found some rust on the cowl right where the one hinge would go, probably wouldn't support the hood on the driver's side, so--since I'm only running 18's--we're going to try the stock hinges and cut away the inner portion of the fender AND the bottom of the hinge and see if it will lay out. The tire diameter is small enough that the heater box won't rub unless it's fully aired out, so the hinge thing may work. Otherwise it's sheetmetal repair time--which I wanted to hold off on for a bit. I can't weld, and I'm running out of money!
Sounds like you need to do what I did this past weekend, I grabbed my brothers welder and was like what the hell lets try this . I did ok for my first time, I still need alot of practice before I would be confident doing anything major.

I have to tell you that I love the Torq Thrust on your truck. They are hands down my favorite wheel ever. I don't care how many people run them, they are simply awesome
