I suspect the 33's are because there are no upgrades inside the axles. It's almost all for show. The rangie didn't even have it's sway bars removed.:confused:

If the radiator wasn't lifted only the top brackets would need stepped down (easy), the gap filled and everything else would be good.

They had to lift the radiator to clear the bull bar upper mount that is part of the kit. It sits on top of the chassis rail and hits the radiator in its original position.

From memory you had a flat plate hanging from the front bull bar mounts, if you put some bolts through this to re position it, you will see the height of the bull bar relocation bracket.

I agree it is a PITA to have to cut the fan cowl. I am going to replace my viscous fan with thermo fans.

Thanks, that clears that mystery up nicely.
