what about the bottom bracket?
Radiator relocation after body lift removal?
So I removed my 3" bodylift today and have ran into a slight snag. I have the body and bed back on the stock mounts and forgot underneath the hood. Poped the hood (thank god I didnt start it) and my radiator and fan shroud was all pushed up. I took of the extender brackets for the radiator and I cannot still get it back to the stock location or mounts. Any ideas?

Where is that? I just went outside and bolted my bed down and looked at it but cant come up with a fix. Is the bracket attached to the radiator? Does it connect to the core support?
Here is what I am looking at
IS THIS THE BRACKET? ONLY THING THAT DOESNT LOOK OE
Didn’t need 10 feet of up travel. Looked a little ridiculous to me... Going to lower some more. Here is how it sits.
:damn: This is the only thing I didnt do myself and the only thing I hate the way it was done. Wonder how I can get those brackets. I hope it isnt all part of the complete core support. Maybe I can get someone to fab something up? I hope this doesnt get into a too expensive repair.
Running 33x14.50's I can go another 3" lower before having a contact issue. Just on a titan swap/ac coils on the front and plenty of room to spare.
Ahh! That is also my story! The shop i went to was a nightware! With a beefed up Nissan truck nobody will know as well as we do. I was under the assumption lowering the cab and removing the radiator spacers would align everything back into the factory spot. Tomorrow i will figure something out. I can easily fabricate some stuff to get this sorted out for us.:damn: This is the only thing I didnt do myself and the only thing I hate the way it was done. Wonder how I can get those brackets.

A wide 33" is my back up plan (expensive one) if my 35 X 12.5 dont work. I already hit the cab pinch seam under the fenders at full turn.
Nothing wrong with a little cutting
. It will work.. you can make it. Is there a way to disconnect the fan motor? I think I can rig it up so I dont have to get it towed
I was thinking the same thing myself. Post some pics to my "twin"
Why do you need towed? Can you not adjust your fan to sit in a spot and let you drive?
I have not been posting much lately... and its been way too damn cold to work on the truck. But it finally hit 40 so im startin up.Ive also been busy learning how to work CNC machines. This spring summer some good stuff will start getting produced. Check this out for now:

Yeah that's why I was asking about the fan fuse. I can rig it but I don't want it to come on at all for the short trip to the shop. I don't want to break anything. Everything is plastic and expensive
Truck looks great btwIts cold as hell here. Suppose to snow tomorrow.
Does your fan turn? That was the only prob I had due to the extended core support. I just took the fan shroud off
Now im getting a custom core support/radiator and different fan setup.
