I didn't make any modifications to my 5 speed tranny shifter with the 2 inch body lift and it works just fine!

I did make a completely custom, one-off transfer case shifter.

But yes, the lower radiator hose needs to be shortened. I don't think there were any upper radiator hose mods that I had to make. I actually took the opportunity to install the electric fan rather than trying to make the mechanical fan fit.

Here is a picture of the transmission shifter un-modded with a 2 inch body lift...

And here is my custom transfer case shifter...

 

my custom front end replacement is welded into the frame so that wont matter and how would i relocate the shroud

edit: your truck is so clean looking

 

For me doing it 2 times it didn't need to be shorted. Once 2wd and Once 4wd.

Ya defiantly the electric fan is a good upgrade. But simple brackets can be made to shift the fan shroud instead of cutting it up.
