Will be down a couple days, making a few other minor adjustments/changes. May try to get the rear lowered about 2".

UPDATE -- The original fan shroud would not line up with my fan, due to the poly urethane motor mounts being thicker( I used what I had) Adjusted trans crossmember and changed out mount, helped a bit, but still too close for comfort. Made steel shroud and installed 2500CFM electric fan with manual "on" over ride. Cooling great!
