you should have no problem because you bought the pa lift!with the 4.7 engine you will have to get another radiator hose.
look up body lift in search and you will get all the info you want especially if you see hawkeyes name because he has the 4.7 engine also.
good luck

Well it is done, will get some pics(Clear Ones) when I wash this afternoon. It took about 4 and a half hours last night, but I have to still put in the Transfercase bracket and the bracket for the transmission loop. Did you guys install the overloads on the frame under the bed? And I also notice that there was only one bracket for the brake junction. Has any of you made a second bracket for the back end of that brake junction? But I am really happy with the looks of my truck. The stearing is still like stock, I heard people complaining about slop in the wheel, maybe it was not done right I guess. Now I am going to have to buy some nerf bars to cover up the frame. Although it looks alot better then those Chevy's with the frame ten inches bellow the body after they lift them. Thanks for the input!

Durty Dog, I forgot you haha. I have 589's with 32 inch Pathfinders. Oh and I was able to retain the factory radiator hose, it was long enough. I also do not have a clutch fan, so I did not have to cut up my shroud at this time. Once again, thanks for all your input.

Hey Reker I replied to your questions in the Raised Dakota section where you asked about the lift and welding. But I do not have any slop in my stearing. I have heard people say they have slop. But when you see the stearing extension there is no way to have slop if you put it in right. It is a square shaft, and the extension has a square input and shaft coming out. So it only goes in one way, and if it is tight, there is really no way for slop that I could see. But I may be wrong.
