Okay I settled on going with the CSF 2314 3 core radiator. Now onto other business. For a couple of months now I have been saving my money to purchase All-Pro's extreme lift kit package. However I have been really hitting the search button hard and I'm leaning towards going with a F-150 swap for my rear springs now. I've yet to find a negative thought on the swap and it would be a fraction of the cost. However I'm still not sure on what route to take with my front springs. Everyone says RUF however I am running shitty Pro-Comp springs now so that isn't an option for me unless I was to go to the yard and try and find some springs. On top of that I'm hearing some people say to use springs out of a 1st gen truck and others saying to use ones out of a 3rd gen. I'm guessing that whatever route I take I'm going to have to frankenspring it to level it out to the F-150s in the rear. I would love some advice on the issue.
My end all be all goal is to run 37s with a frame height of 25" or below. I have a buddy in my club who is going to help me with the fender trimming necessary to achieve that. From what I can gather from build threads like 85Crawler's it will require taking out about 3" from the fenders. I have a bad knuckle on my driver side that has only 2 threads and blue loctite holding the caliper on. So I'm leaning towards taking that money I'm saving by not going the All-Pro extreme lift route and putting it towards six shooters. This will require me to go with Trail Gear for my high steer. While I'm in there doing the knuckle swap/rebuild I would like to put RCV axles in to support the 37s as well. I guess I'll just go with Trail Gear for my u-bolt flip kits as well. I'm thinking aloud here on a very long day of work so I apologize for the ranting.
