Why bother.

Its actually nice knowing its up higher out of the way

i didn't lower mine either, just out of interest why do you want too?

I have another coolant temp guage fitted to it,and I got it up to about 97/98 degrees pushing it hard towing the camp trailer up a long hill in 5th, With the radiator lifted the fan blades are below the radiator by a bit so it is really not working as efficiantly as it should be.
hence the question of lowering the radiator.
cheers guys

98 degrees is not too bad pushing it uphill while towing, considering the normal operating temp is around 80 i think

I wouldnt bother either.If it really worries you take the fan off and fit some thermos.

Mate, I have to agree with the others! I haven't moved mine or anyone elses. How many km's on yours? Maybe the radiator just needs a clean out! 97/98 isn't overly hot either really- especially after towin a trailer up a good hill.

why do you want to lower it after a body lift??? isn't it in the same spot as before because it mounted to the body?
