Bodydropping a ranger

I'd like to see some pics of what you guys did for that lower radiator hose. Mine needs to be lengthened or something too. It's hitting my steering knuckle and doesn't quite reach.

I remember you having problems with yours. It probably is motor dependent. I have the 2.5L and my hose reached fine. At one point in time I was tinkering with switching the upper hose with the lower one, but I'm pretty sure I switched back the way they were, lol.

As far as my frame goes, I can show you some pics, but it's a traditional bodydrop so only thing different is the Z. Here's a pic of how much the traditional is though, after the Z the step in isn't much at all especially if you slant the metal for the raise.



Here it is with carpet laid down:

I believe I don't have that part on mine. My hoses don't have any branches

is that your lower radiator hose? or upper?

lower maybe cause it's a 3.0

the hoses really dont matter as long there not kinked and you can still burp the system.
