Hello all;

Figured I'd do a write up on this since i did not like how the PA body lift would have you mount the fan shroud leaving a big gab between the shroud and radiator several reducing the effectiveness of the fan. This mod was done using the 2" PA body lift.

This is top view of how PA would have you mount..

This is bottom view of how PA would have you mount...

Lucky for me I sorta messed up a cut on my old shroud trying to just make it work before as i did not care for how this was mounting so i had my old one to play with as i ordered a new one..

I first did my dry fitting and cutting on the old one once i had it like i liked it reproduced the cuts and fitting to the new shroud i bought..

Basically i cut the bottom off and notched the sides so the bottom of the shroud would sit on the radiator support beam as they want it too but allow it to sit flush on the radiator..

After doing cut by cut and dry fitting.. here is the cuts in progress..

ON my old shroud the corner notches were already done but on this "D" version of the shroud it is not notched at all and is squared off; so first step is to notch that on the corners and then cut off the tab as shown.. just followed the line.. nothing fancy here..

Once all the cuts were done and dry fitted to my liking.. here is final results of the shroud..

Now here is the tricky part. the mounts PA gives you will still have you sitting way out.. so take some vise grips and start fattening them out little by little..

And finally once its all said and done.. the final fitting, and then tightening of each bolt one by one..

So as you can see its really sitting pretty flush now and i can really tell the difference already..

Just really a lot of time taking it step by step cutting little by little and constantly dry fitting until it gets to where you want it.. the hump on the bottom that turns flat was the tricky area.. thats why its cut like it is so it will sit flat on the cross member and seal up using some sealer..
