Of course, one other "benefit" of the early frame is that since you are putting the new steering box on, you can put it where you want (like as far forward as possible) to allow for moving the front axle more forward for added tire clearance at the firewall. And the benfit of the high arch in the front frame section is that you can run w/ less lift and still have room for high-mounted steering components to fit.
