Body lift install, tranny cooler lines

[ranger_steve]

Just starting to lift my truck after replacing my rad support earlier this week , got everything in the instructions covered for prep. Instructions for the kit dont mention anything about tranny cooler lines. The hard lines coming from the rad are hitting the bottom of the fan shroud and I was thinking of cutting the hard lines and putting hose on and rerouting them. Anything wrong with doing such a thing? Thanks in advance! Cant wait to get the beast back on the road!

The solution was much simpler than I anticipated. For anyone in the same situation, I used a princess auto/harborfreight manual tubing bender. Unhook a couple of the clips that hold the two cooler lines together going back to tranny, bend the lines gently out of the way of the fan shroud and secure them in place! Install fan shroud drop brackets and done! Admins can move this whenever you see it, thanks!

Thanks for the update Steve. I will be installing a body lift before long on my daughter Ranger so I will make sure to have of those bender available.
