A question I have been wanting to ask you. Do you have the dually brakes on the front or are you using the single wheel units? I looked through your build photos, but could not tell.

i Have the factory 1 ton hubs on the front. i stepped the lower ball joints 2" up, flattened the upper control arm ball joint angles out a few degrees.
if i remember correctly the front bags have 1-1/2" cups on the bottom of them.
i cut little slices in the fender lips and rolled them in a little. i just made sure not to cut where the spot welds are holding them togather.
i can drive it, tucking about to the bead of the wheels and still turn lock-to-lock.
the drawback is!! ill have too much negative camber to ride low for long distances.
im like the look of mine with the normal hubs. i dont like how much the single wheel hubs draw the wheels in. im just gonna live with it.

if you have the clearance you can always raise the upper control arm mounts up abit to get rid of some of the camber issues. I havent looked at the whole build yet so dont know how much room you have
