I've read where people say the over load spacers are optional if you don't use your bed. I use my bed quite often, so I ended up having a friend weld them in. Cost me nothing except gas.

Take your time, have a buddy help. Make sure you have a dedicated day (or weekend) to do so. It will take about 8 hours.

What lift? If you have to move your radiator it sounds like your doing a body lift?

I'm getting geared up to do the same thing, but mine never came with the instructions. I always use the overload blocks, but have never welded them in. I didnt notice the fuel line part, but expected to have to do something with the shrould. Do you actually move the rad or just drop the shrould to clear the fan?
