I am with you on the height. It is cool to see the dropped ones but I'd rather to have some heights.
I have just started to work on the wiring. Hoping to finsh that, along with the steering soon.
Meanhwile I am finsihing up the cooling system. This is my solution for the cooling fan: a 2 speed junkyard taurus fan. the fan with its shroud is almost perfect fit turned at its longer length. I just had to trim the bottom of it to clear lower radiator hose. I made a little bracket at it bolted up to the original radiator nuts on rad support It clear the front accessories nicely.
