What mounts/pan do you have? The pan has to almost be on the tie rod ends when at full steering lock. Some 'kits' put the engine up quite a bit depending on the pan that's used.
You also likely need a smaller amp alternator. I think I have one off a 06 1500, basically just a low amp unit, the case is smaller size.
