put the cut back in the kit. the code 504 kit puts the running boards below the bottom of the framerails. the space between the cab floor and the top of the frame doesnt really mean anything about how low the truck will be, I have 2" drop spindles and 2" springs with 4" leaf springs on a self made kit that is as tall as the code 504 setup and the running boards are only 4.5 inches off the ground. I could bag it on stock control arms and a small notch and lay the running boards flat on 29" tall tires. the extra height of the body mounts doesnt mean anything to how low the truck will be, it just makes the problems that you have noted worse.

there is a local metal banger that throws these together by bolting the cab straight to the frame. he has to lean the radiator way out in front of the core support and his grilles are all cut up.

put the extra you cut out back in.
