Re: body lifts????

got a 3 inch on the 92, had to modify the fan shroud, and the floor pan for the shifters, that was all.
as for themps it runs cooler than before but I only lifter the bumper 1.5 inches, and left the gap a little bigger.

Re: body lifts????

I put a 2" on my '89 F30 7.3. Got it from summit racing if I remember correctly for less than 100.00 It was not listed for "diesels" but worked with no problems. Trim the fan shroud with some avaition snips. You will have to lengthen the transmission linkage arm if you have an auto.
