Nice Project , It should haul the freight .
what clearance issue concerns you about bending a wheel? that's a comment i didn't expect. though, there should be no contact anywhere in the suspension through travel/turning once complete. the fender though is another issue that i'll address once i get that far into assembly.

the droop bump is in place already since it's just a cut-down stock unit. extended free travel while still stopping a metal on metal stop. without jumping the truck, this shouldn't get used unless on a jack. the compression bump however i can't fab in there until i have the truck at full weight. either a factory bump, or something aftermarket, i intend to set them compressed at full static weight 1/2" above the hard stop.
