I feel like it would just make the engine sit higher in the bay and cause clearance issues with the hood.

also any tips to getting the frame back on the car and making sure its aligned correctly?
You are correct. Everything will move up and it may create clearance issues. Stick with stock height. There are alignment holes next to the big holes on the mounts that correspond to holes on the body. You can use a screwdriver or make pins to get it square.
