Nice truck, that's an interesting color. I think I like it, but I'm not sure. Probably do. What color is it, cna't say as i've ever seen one that color before.

I've had body lifts in a lot of trucks and never had cooling problems, even with plowing. You can use the top half of the fan shroud and either trim or leave off the bottom half, it will be fine. Or you could get fancy and drop the bottom half down with brackets so you can keep it. My 97 kit came with brackets to extend the bottom half of the fan shroud down 3 inches. Not sure where you're at with the radiator and shroud not being original.
I like the stance it has now, if it were me I'd leave the lift in it and get brackets to lift the front bumper up and make it look right. Those tires look like around a 33-12.50, they will hit the fenders without the lift. So you'll also need smaller tires.
