Right now the gap between the top of the tire and the bottom of the wheel arch is a little over 4 inches in the back and around 3 in the front. My rationale for the crossmember being under the frame (as in the picture before) is that 1. it gives me extra clearance for the trailing arms so that when the shocks compress the arms have plenty of room to move upward without hitting the frame rails and 2. it allows me to run the driveshaft through the hole in the crossmember with just a little bit of widening to allow for driveshaft movement. With the truck at my desired height this allows plenty of ground clearance. My headers, exhaust, and the center of the differential are a few inches lower than the crossmember will be.
