New Fan Shroud. Work with 2" body lift?

[ObscureMachine]

Got a fan shroud a couple of years ago, but never put it on. Now I've "accidentally" put on the 2" body lift, and wasn't expecting to have to do any mods.

Can I tweak the shroud? Should I get brackets or a different shroud? I have no welding equip or ability, and I'm trying to buy stuff that will work for the future frame-off.

Suggestions?

Thanks!

I claim brain damage as the reason. Coulda swore I had bought the 1". Sat in a box for 3 years or so. Didn't even look at it when I pulled it out to install it. %)

Now I have to go back and look at all the 2" lift stuff I hadn't expected to do.

I made a set of brackets to drop my shroud. Invest in a cheap wire welder from Harbor frieght and a 4 inch grinder. They will pay for themselves in 1 project

The Wild Horses Integrated 1" body lift, with the body lift and body mounts all in one piece, is about 2" tall. Maybe????

I dropped my radiator an inch when I did my 1" body lift so I could use the stock shroud. I removed the lower radiator brackets from the core support and made a couple out of 1/4 x 1" flat bar bent in an " L ", and bolted the lower mounts to them. The upper mounts could be reused by drilling new holes in the core support.

HIs the 2" lift from WH his mount isn't integrated.

Thinking about getting Duff's drop brackets. Or would it be a good time to go to an electric fan setup?

Harbor freight usually has 20% off coupons floating around. Most will take it off even the sale price, usually the best deal.
