i would say a z in the front is your solution. it raises everything up while keeping everything in line. there is a suspension company here in houston and they do a ton of "z'ed" frames. i would of done a z to mine but i wanted to try a rack and pinion style steering.

there is a thread on this site that discusses cutting the z on an angle to push the wheel forward to center it in the fenderwell. i think if i was going to take the time to do it, i would do it to all the benefit i could. the dropmember does this also while narrowing the track with. we could be here all day discussing pros and cons along with price. if you are on a budget, cut away. lol. i did a ton of research like you are doing when i did my cupped arms. just did not think of what would happen if i ran it low and hung it up.
i am not saying it will happen to you, just do not run it low.
