First thing on the work list is my radiator core support for my 88 bronco II is rusted out and needs replaced I already bought a new one and I was wondering how long and difficult they are to replace. Second is body lift and mounts I bought a 2 inch body lift with poly mounts does it matter which one is on top touching the body should the lift be on top of the mount? Any help or advice would be awesome thanks

to remove the radiator youll want to have a new or sharp drill bit that is a little bigger then the spot weld itself (i think i used 3/8) and imo i would bolt the new support on opposed to welding it on. and the body lift blocks sit between the poly bushings and the body.

I took out the radiator support with a sawsall.Replaced the cross connection with a large piece of angle iron. Built a new lower support that extended from the top.Now with a 2" body lift I was able to tuck a Smittybuilt winch behind the front bumper.

Do what pwrranger said, bolt it on.... did that with my 92 nissan stanza, makes it so much easyer if you ever have to pull the motor.
