I have lowered two of these now. One on a first gen rodeo that was manual and the second (while on a trail) was an auto. we used the stock brackets and just bolted them up different. I have been running mine with no shroud for 7 years now.

If you have a manual then let the radiator sit in stock place.
If you have an auto the trannt gets hot and really needs the radiator dropped down to allow good cooling.

Or you can mount an ellectric fan to cool the radiator.

With body lift you'll only have about 1/3 of your fan on the radiator,this is not really enough.

Bigpoppax2 installed an electric setup from a 2wd Amigo,if I remember right.

It seems to be cooling good.

Just remember that the auto trans fluid will get really hot and help to overheat the truck if you don't fix the problem.

Thanks for the tip. I will have him keep an eye on it. Moab will be a GREAT testbed for it.

Not my Rodeo, its a buddies. He is in Milan, IT until the weekend before Moab. He needed to have the components installed, so I helped out. It is an auto, and should he experience cooling issues, I think we will go the route of an electric fan.
