What are your plans for getting the fan shroud (attached to body) lined back up with the fan on the motor (attached to frame)? You'll need to extend the transfer case shifter also.
Things most people don't take into consideration with body lifts. Also brake lines, radiator hoses, fuel filler neck, maybe transmission shift cable, some wiring, rear A/C lines. There's a lot that goes into it.
This was going great, excellent work and decisions, until this! I'm hugely not a fan of body lifts! They are ugly and a poor mans work around to a proper suspension lift. If you want tall and big tires, switch to a solid axle in front and SOA in the rear.
To each their own, it's his build it should be how he likes it but I'm with you here. I wish it was all suspension and no body lift. Especially since it's down to the frame, wouldn't be hard to fab up and slap a Dana 44 under there before recoating the frame. Still an awesome build though.
yes, you are all right. Some things are about to change.
I'll look at the "Fan/Radiator" tomorrow in particular and then decide what i do
The other things ( brake lines, fuel filler neck,transmission shift cable and steering shaft, behind AC ) do not cause big problems ... Thanks for the suggestion.....

is still early enough
You can go electric on the fan if you want. I don't know what vehicles you have that would have a similar fan shroud size where you're at. We use the early to mid 90s Ford Taurus electric fan all the time over here. It's not as tall as our radiator but it's the same width
but I would prefer to solve the mechanic by completely rebuilding the radiator
is not a problem for me,
do not worry, I'm going to make it
I have already (self)built vehicles completely, here one picture from my selfmade "Panther" :-) only just4fun

it was once a suzuki Vitara
Looks awesome! Just incase you don't know, 2000-2003 Durango radiators are actually down in the core support area instead of being behind the core support. It might be a little easier to fab a shroud from that radiator. I actually put a Griffin full aluminum Radiator in mine. But I put it back in the factory spot as my 98, but it would also fit inside the core support area. Just some ideas! Give me some time and I'll post a link to my radiator thread.
There are some volvo fans (forget which, but one of the 80s/90s boxy ones) that have the same dual speed motor as the taurus fan, but with a bit bigger shroud. I grabbed one of those at a junkyard before.
