When you lowered the front of the frame horns did you run into any problems by cuttin it behind the lower radiator support? I'm trying to figure that out on mine right now but I noticed most people cut in front of it. I tore my truck apart over a year ago and I don't remember how everything goes together. I would appreciate any help. Thanks!

You have to cut in front of the support. If I were you before you z the frame I would consider a drop member. I no it cost more money but in the end it will save you a ton of head ache. Zing the frame is not hard but you will have to run a narrower radiator because it will have to fit between the frame rails

[zippeay]

Well... I've already done 99% of the work to do it this way. I will post pictures when I get home of how I did mine. I ended up cutting in front of the support and lowering the whole Radiator support. Hopefully I won't run into too many problems. I didn't want to use a custom radiator. Hopefully I didn't screw myself but I'm fairly sure that I can fix or work around whatever I did. I will post a picture and hopefully someone can point out if I need to change anything. I appreciate the advice but I've already Z'd the frame and pancaked my crossmember and cupped the LCAs plus I don't have the cash for the crossmember, I know they are nice and honestly if I had to do it all over again I would probably buy one but it's too late now.

ok cool no problem I hope I can help

[zippeay]

Here are the pictures. I still have to finish it up but this is what I came up with. I know I will have to move the steering box a little forward but when I did my Z I moved everything up an inch so that shouldn't be too much of an issue. Basically I cut right in front of the support and lowered the radiator support down. Then I made some pieces for the bottom in order to keep the crossmember in one piece. Hopefully this all works out all right.

[superflysteiny]

The tanks on the rad will hit the frame I am sure it will not fit. I would just buy an new radiator that is narrow. I can get you one from american past times for about 180

[zippeay]

Ok thanks for the advice! I will try and see if I can make this work if not I will let you know about the radiator. Thank you so much!
