I raised my engine and I guess in doing so, it made it so that I do not have any clearance issue with the steering. I suppose if you are having trouble with it, you could get those adjustable swap plates from Dirty Dingo (or another company that makes them), and you can push your motor back a little more. You will just need to push the transmission crossmember back to match.
I am basically in central MD, 15 mins south of Baltimore

I made a plastic shape of what I wanted them to look like and then I made a two part mold of the part. Then I cast in clear plastic with some red dye added to it. It was a very complicated and difficult process. Most people who do it just use flat plastic tinted red

I didn't have to do anything to the trans tunnel except massage a corner with a hammer for clearance on one spot. It might not have even been necessary but I wanted to be sure before I put everything together.
