2. Where can i get brackets to lower my radiator?
3. Do i have to cut the fan shroud?

any other advice would seriously help...I NEED ALL THE ADVICE I CAN GET!!!!

I have a 1996 F150 Eddie Bauer Edition Short Bed and it has a manual tranmission. Yes it 4wd.
you need to lower the fan shroud, make a steering shaft extension, shift linkage extension, a 4x4 shifter extension (so it'll shift into 4x2) and thats bout it

I'm putting a 3 inch body lift on my 94 and was wondering if everyone could post pictures of their body lifts ( if you don't have a suspension lift too ) and what tire size would you recommend 33 or 35?

Well i know for a fact people can tuck 35's with just a body lift. But its tight.33x12.50 looks best imo. With a body lift and level it looks even better.

I don't have pics right this second, but I had a 3 inch body lift on my '90 and I ran 33's. Thy fit perfect on a set of 15x10 wagon wheels. No rubbing at full lock even.
You can run 35's I have a few friends doing it, but to me it looks weird and thy have problems with it.
