The tires and wheels do stick out, I am going to be putting some custom wheels on, I'm going to make sure the offset is so the tires can be in the wheel wells.

the amount that your truck is lowered would not moved the rear axle back that far. here are a couple of examples of one close to stack and another lowered



lowering the engine I doubt will do much for weight tansfer and moving it back a bit I doubt will do much either unlee you go to extremes. I can remember back around the mid 60's that we mounted a 410 cu" Edsel in an old 40/50 Studebaker truck. it was mounted under and behind the seat
.
you can do a lot more with suspension than with relocating the engine
