no need for headers yet stock mainifolds fit, a little tight but im sure anything I put in there will be. Is that three core rad something I might find at a jy or is it something from a specialty shop? Will it mount in the stock location?

my thought is the stock f-150 springs give 2 inches of lift because they compress less due to the weight difference. I got the 360 in mine so im thinking that 2 inches will turn out to be1,sSo if I add four to that I should get the five im looking for and I doubt I will be dissapointed with accidentley having to much lift ( oh wait I dont think its possible to get to much lift ). Anyway after I get the front up Im just going to combine some s-10 leafs and shackle to get it all level.
no XJ came with a V8, the Grands did but a completely different rad. you can find three core rads fairly cheap online or I'm sure your local auto parts could find one for you. Maybe spring for an aluminum rad, I know thats out of your budget. Mine too.
There is a guy on here 4.3L XJ could see what he used.

High steer moves the drag link up 3-5" and allows you to have better steering because your drag link is not at a severe angle. You will need to move the trac bar also when you do this. 7" is too much for the tie rod ends of your steering system.

Actualy I just went out to check and the d-44 from my old waggy that im going to use is already set up with the high stear so could I just do a drop bracket on the trac bar and be all set?
