Yeah bigger tires are gonna look awesome. Also awesome vintage KCs. I think I might steal that idea of using one of the roof racks as a light bar XD.

In the picture I made it a little big,, but you can cut off a bit of that mount, just so the control arms don't hit.

Ive done this to mine and been wheeling it for over a year now with no problems. Just be carefull not to take too much off.

Plus it will save you from buying control arm drop brackets, which will give you less clearance underneath

i was thinking about that too but i need longer control arms either way because with all the lift up front it sucks the tires back towards the doors and looks goofy
