I paid $250 to have the body lift installed and I didn't touch the truck during this process, pretty good price, huh?

When I went inside to pay, I was notified that I need a new core support and that they were not able to put the lift spacers in the very front of the truck until I got the new core support. So that is next on the list. Also my fan seems to be rubbing. Would it be rubbing on the bottom of the shroud? If so, how hard it is to go in and trim the shroud, and how far around from the bottom up do I need to trim? The rubbing doesn't sound too bad until I corner and the body leans and then it sounds pretty severe.

Don't worry, I'll be sure to post pictures tomorrow when its daylight.
You need to get that done asap. Im talking monday asap. Those supports are a must. And yes the shroud should be cut. It probly already has been trimmed but with an unsupported nose it will keep hitting.

As promised, here she is. Lift and tires all done. After tires and all, it lifted it about 9.5 inches. I was skeptical whether or not to go with 37's or 35's due to the regear. So far so good. Being a manual 5 speed, I don't think regearing will come anytime soon if ever, I don't notice much of a difference. I had to trim about two inches off of the front bumper at the very bottom corner and no now rubbing.

Next up:
-Core Support
-Fix the fan shroud rubbing
-Rust Repair
-Good body polish
-Tow mirrors
-Train Horns
-Oracle Wheel well lights
-nerf bars (for the girlfriend)
-Light Bar
-Fender Flares
-Super Duty Tail lights and Tailgate
-LED Pods for extra reverse lights
-New double DIN and backup camera
-CB Radio
-LED Tailgate brake light
