Heh, it already has a 3" BL on it that I'm trying to eliminate. With a 4" suspension on top of (or below) that 7" lift is just to much for the rocks I want to play on.

Running the coolant lines thru the frame would be great, but cutting open the frame, bending the pipes and re-welding the frame would be just too much at this point.

I did price out some braided/teflon/bling hoses (found them on earls plumbing) instead of the metal ones, only about 500 bones too much for my taste.

And your right, the stock radiator is long gone. I got this thing after somebody did the conversion (poorly I might add) and let the truck sit for 3 or so years. I bought it knowing that just about everything from the electrical to the suspension had to be redone. I was really hoping that the cooling was going to be easier than it has been but alas, Murphy setup shop in my garage.
