Default body lift issues?

hey guys, im going to put a body lift on my truck, and was wondering what you do about the rad/fan? they dont line up when its lifted. should i just cut the shroud, or make a drop bracket for the rad? any other issues i should be aware of before i tackle it?
thx

Make drop brakets. Its simple and keeps the shroud. the bumpers will need to be moved up as well. thats about it.

I just thought of this, what about an electric fan mounted on the rad? is there a common one from another modle thats an easy swap?

found this in the FAQ...

There is not a direct bolt in kit. The best choises are to Get a dual fan unit from a Ford Contour/Mercury Mystique. or the dual fan from a 98-03 Intrepid. I think you can also use a dual fan unit out of an early/mid 90s Camaro. You may need to make custom mounts. You can also go to most parts stores or www.summitracing.com and buy universal fans
