There are Double DIN install kits that do a fair job of it.

I had the same problem. They were cheap enough that I bought both of them though. I think it was the Scosche that worked out best for me in the end. Others have had better luck with Metra though. I think it depends on the head unit you're installing.

Failing that, you can try the GXE vents. Best match but pricey...

Gonna have to drop it at least some more, you didnt change it much at all really. Set it like 25.25-25.5inched from fender to ground and you will ahve plenty of clearance. Thats the way I ride and I dont rub or drag on anything. Lower if you want to since I ride 18" but still...gotta get her down lol then just up the preload a bit and bam your golden. It takes time to dial in I bought a lifetime alignment from Firestone and prolly adjusted 20 times before I got happy, still play with it a bit now and then but Im mostly happy

Installed that plastic button on the seat belt that keeps the seat belt clip from sliding to the floor when the seat belt is not being worn.
