It's just the angle of the picture, there's plenty of room.
LOL didn't even realize I started this thread. Yep I decided to go with the 70s because I just didn't want to deal with spacers and rubbing. Looks great at stock height and with about 1" of lift. I don't think having an XK would change anything. I have plenty of clearance everywhere and have not rubbed once, even off road. I think I posted pictures at the pinch weld and swaybar also somewhere around this forum. I can repost them if you want.
