But keep in mind that the front crossmember sits lower than the frame.

Just play it safe and do 8 inches. LOL
I put a 1x1 square tubing under the frame with some clamps and just measure up on each side of the truck. You would be suprised how many are off a little from side to side. For the crossmember, just Z the front and u should be set.
