Yup as the title states...just got done lifting my buddies truck...For all of those who have called and had Peformance Accessories say that they do not make one for the 2001-2002 Dmax HD's...well just order the one for the gassers..PA# 183..there are only 2 minor mods that need to be done to make the kit work...1- fan shroud extensions that come with the kit will not work on Dmax equipped trucks...so you need to make some up..nothing 4- 1/4x4" bolts and some 3" 1/4"I.D. pipe couldn't handle..top of shroud mounts in the factory local then add the extensions and mount the lower half to the upper...yes there is a gap, but we have seen no indication of any higher temps. as of yet...number 2 one heater hose on the pass. side firewall needs to be replaced with a longer section of hose....thats all everything else bolted right up...see pics below for visuals on the mods needed and a quick pic of the truck....which is 2001 CC HD 3" PA body lift, green keys, 2" block and currently on 295's...fender measurements are 45" front/ 46.5" back. (Oh yeah and gap guards will be installed tomorrow.)

get some pics with gap guards if you can (up close) I may consider doing this, how long did it take and what did you use to lift the body up

Better than screwing up the suspension with a lift.

Maybe he just meant the ride if you were just gonna do green keys or something.
