It looks like I can safely space it out about 3/4" before the fluid lines get too close to the front crossmember.

Steven,

I used Rob's rack on the red '82 we built about 7 years ago. We had the original PB forward arms on that truck. I did discuss with Rob this same idea, but he told me to install it the way it was designed. I did, no issues at all and the truck drove and handled great!.
