radiator/body lift question

[Logan]

Im in the process of ordering a 2" RB body lift. My question is concerning the radiator drop brackets. Is it necessary to do this at 2"? I dont see any kind of hose clearance issues or anything like that. Am i missing something?

[PsychoTaco]

I think its to keep the fan centered in the radiator shroud. Someone correct me if I'm wrong... :o

[Blitanicle99]

Yes its for the fan shroud. And trust me it easy takes maybe 10 minutes.

[STOMPER]

Just do it, the fan and shroud will thank you for it.

Is this Logan?

[mnntaco]

Yes you need to do this. Even for the 2". You don't have that much clearance between the fan and shroud.

[Marshytaco]

do it, do it, do it now! Yeah, like they said, it's the easiest part of the BL.

Logan how much was the 2" and when do you plan on installing it?

[Blitanicle99]

If he paid more than 115 id laugh.

[sploosh]

Why would you laugh?

[Blitanicle99]

Anything over 115 is overpriced.

[Logan]

alright!! thats the kind of response i was looking for from everyone. thanks for the help.

Yes this is Logan

Shaun-- I havent actually ordered it just yet. im thinking ill have everything at my house by the end of february. rear bumper, sliders, new coilovers,camburg arms etc.etc.

As far as the price goes, im more concerned about getting it right the first time and getting the better hardware and the shifter extensions and so on and on...just my personal opinion. But again thanks for everyones input.

[GOT COPE?]

lol I was wondering where you were :D I kept lookin for dcoplean or however you spelled it.

[Logan]

yeah i changed it after we switched boards. was just kinda lurking for a few months!! is that spare still holding air?

[GOT COPE?]

Yep its holding up fine, so far I havent needed it, I reckon thats where the term spare comes in :doh: Thanks again :D

Logan, check this out man:

This is for a 1 inch, but it gives good instructions for a BL.

Really? When I emailed Roger Brown he told me a 1" kit with ultimate blocks and grade 8 hardware was $125 plus shipping.

I think the price differences are coming from using generic body lifts such as performance accesories and others which dont always have the correct hardware and peices. whereas the RB lifts are vehicle and customer specific so you get exactly what you want AND need and nothing else.

thanks man. I think ive read every single part of his website at least twice!!
Hes got good info and pics though. By the way I havent ordered mine yet but ithink with all the extensions and such it should come to about 175-185 somewhere in there but ihavent emailed him back with the specifics yet. later

[sploosh]

I think I'm going with either a 1" or a 2" body lift as well.

The bad part for me is my ARB and winch. That'll be a PITA to re-align. I'm thinking of just putting a plastic strip in the gap and not moving it at all.
