You might have trouble with the driveshaft contacting the top of the loop. We had to move our loop forward off the body brace to avoid scraping when hitting a hard dip. Maybe take the rear springs out and move the axle up to the snubbers and see how the driveshaft clearance looks.

Moving it just forward of the body brace allows the loop to sit closer to the floor and also puts it in a little less of the driveshaft arc movement. The 9" rear does have its pinion lower, and you will have an advantage over where ours sat with the 12-bolt. Could be enough to get the clearance needed.
