might have to drop your fan shroud since thats body and the engine wont move, unless its electric fan then doesnt matter. keep an eye on throttle/brake lines/cables too

Not sure but couldn't you just do the torsion bar lift and put an AAL or lifting springs on it?

3 inch body lift, and all you'll have to do is move the bumpers up too. If you've got a 300, you'll need a flex hose for the lower radiator hose, but that's the only thing

A 1" body lift would be such a waste.
