Fan Shroud
The Factory Fan Shroud is a two piece design; you will need to remove the lower half of the fan shroud so that it can be trimmed.
Fan Shroud Removal (Fig. 1-4)
1. Locate the two center push tabs on the shroud (upper fan shroud), depress these to loosen the lower portion of the shroud from the Top Portion
2. On the bottom of the fan shroud remove the push in style radiator hose supports, (careful not to damage these as you will re-use them) Pull the radiator hose back.
3. Depress the two tabs at the bottom of the fan shroud; with the shroud loose at the top and bottom pull the shroud down. The Fan Shroud at this time should be free and able to move.
4. Turning the Fan shroud up in a CCW position and pulling down on the shroud will allow for removal.
Trimming the Fan Shroud (Fig. 5-6)
1. With the fan shroud out and on a flat surface (lip facing up) you will want to make a line from the Top Part of the lip, on the Outside portion of the shroud. The line is to be a 1/4 inch out from the top lip.
2. The 1/4” line is to go all the way around the shroud; this is your cut line.
3. Trim the Shroud
4. A 3/8” hole will need to be drilled a half inch up from the bottom center of the fan shroud.
5. After you make the cut you will want to debur all edges
6. When cutting and deburing are finished, reverse the step of removal to reinstall the shroud.
7. When the Fan Shroud is re-installed place supplied push on hose support into the new hole that was drilled. This is an additional support for the radiator hose.
8. Place the radiator hose in and supports back on the shroud. To install the trimmed fan shroud reverse steps 1-4 of fan shroud removal.
Body Measurement (Fig. 7-9)
Prior to installing your new Daystar Body Lift you will need to take body to frame, bed to frame rail measurements and measure the gap between the body and bed. These measurements are what you will need to adjust your body and bed back to after installing your Body Lift.
When measuring the body you will want to measure down the drivers side and passenger side in three different locations.
1. In front of the front tire
2. Middle of the vehicle (at the front door and rear door seam)
3. The back of the body (where the bed and body separate)
