1" BL or Hole in the floor for triple shifters?

As it states, I have build a dual case setup and am getting very close to throwing it in the truck. I have chosen to go with triple shifters as well for a couple reasons, but I am now faced with another decision.

Being fairly new to the 4wd scene, I am unsure whether I should put a 1" BL on the truck (has a classic lift from wabfab, 4" front and 5" rear) or keep the COG as low as possible and not go with the 1". If there is no BL then a hole will need to be cut in the floor to make room for the shifter rail where they mount on top of the rear case (this is where they will hit the floor and bind).

If ok with cutting and have a way to cover it up nice, cut it.

I typically put a 1" bl on everything I build for clearance so I won't have to cut.

Preference really.

Yeah, that is what I was thinking on the 1" lift. I think it would be nice and make a little more room as well for things. Do you happen to know how much BL is need for a 3.4 swap? I am looking around as I type this to find out. I will most likely end up with that setup, so if it'll save time to do the BL now then I may as well. That is if it is needed, but I have a hunch that it will be unless I want a hood scoop (I don't really).

Typically 1". Like I said it gives you more frame to body clearance for a lot of things.
