APPLICATION FOOTNOTES
10 - Installation on models equipped with V-8 requires replacement of lower radiator hose and fan.
24 - Gap Guards available and sold separately for this application.

I have a V8 is there any way around the replacement of lower radiator hose and fan.

the lower hose will bend enough. simple fan shrod brakets are easly to make
gap gaurds cover the space in between the body and frame they are not needed
front and back bumpers are easy to modify to move up

Wow, I assume it was a 2wd sport since you used the spring spacers? I just bought that kit for my truck and wasn't sure if 31's would fit. Do your tires rub very badly, and do you have many miles on the truck?I have well over 200k so I'm not sure if the kit will have the same effect..

i got 175000 they dont rub but if a hit a big enough rock my wheel will hit upperwell in my front1 gen dakota been know for it bouncyness well nothig is in bed but thats why im getting a double tube roll bars and spare tire carrier build to make up for this best thing tho is to get a helper springs to go around your shocks cause you coils might be worn. when do they rub when turns sharp or when hitting stuff? the best though for you if you suppensions worn it to take 95 ram leaf springs and mount them on as for coils try to get some longer or stiffer ones from a jeep cherokee or chevy 1500
