On my Blazer Ascenders (WB4) the front lower HD links barely contact the frame rails once in awhile. I set them up so the tops of the lower HD links are canted inwards slightly and that helps, the slight occasional rub is just enough to wear the anodizing off and make a little wear mark in the alumium, has not caused any problems though.

Lights look great, rock lights (under lights) help a lot at night!

that's the same steering setup I done, but had to remove the spacer in between draglink an tierod, seemed to be smoother thru the left an right radius, an also to be the same angle as the track bar, but there is no more flex in the tierod, like the stock steering linkage had.
