I am wanting to do a .75" - 1" (I have my reasons) body lift on my 98 5.0. What to do about the radiator? Do the stock bumper brackets have that much adjustment? Can they be modified? Know where I can find the blocks?

Thanks.
 






i dont even think you are going to be able to find anything smaller than a 1" bodylift

bumper should be fine... radiator fine as well....
 






I made my own 1" body lift out of 6061 aluminum 3" round. I machined it on a lathe to get it nice and flat. I bought new bolts and made a 1" drop bracket for the radiator shroud. It wasnt too hard. You could do the same thing for a 3/4" lift
 






Brian,

Did you get enough adjustment out of your bumper brackets to make them work, or what did you do there?

Thanks.
