but anyways looks like its going to be way to low anyways and the blades are going to go into the lower radiator hose if i actually bolt it up

so can you even run a mechanical fan on these trucks or electric is just easier?
just bolt the radiator to the outer side of the support. modify your upper and lower valance to match. That solves the clearance issue but its still to low. So I would move the radiator to the front and use a Mark VIII or Taurus fan
