Default Anybody have pics of under the hood after body lift?

I am looking for some pictures of in the engine compartment after a 3 inch body lift was installed. The main reasoning is I would like to see how the fan shroud looks after the lift is installed. I feel like I was missing some brackets for this. I may be wrong, but this is why I ask. I dont even need pics, just an idea of how others turned out under the hood.

Thanks guys!!

or are there relocating brackets to bring it down. If the shroud came up, the fan would hit it. Now that I think about it, I just realized that when I changed the radiator out the other day, I had two brackets to take off the old radiator and install on the new one. Those must be two that came with the body lift. I just feel like I did something wrong, cuz the upper shroud cover just kinda hangs out. There is a 3 inch gap between the fan shroud and the top cover, so I thought I was missing something.

i can take a pic if you want one but the shroud moves up the back of it does not bolt or screw to anything there are no brackets for the fan shroud the only brackets there are is for the circle guard that goes around the fan

One mine before we removed the body lift there was two bracket one on each side of the shroud.

That gap is considered normal.
Zip tie the top of the shroud to the support, there is a bracket (supplied with the PA body lift) for the bottom.

I can take pics tomorrow if needed.
