i have heard of people just getting traction bars (so it takes away the big *** fron cross memeber) then the radiator can slide between the traction bar and front rad. support... then just make a lil bracket to hold it in place... or u could just cut apart of it away if u dotn wana buy the traction bars..

I hacked the entire passenger side of the lower rad support out so the EG rad can sit low enough to clear the hood. It's just kind of resting in there now, but it's solid and I haven't had an issue yet.

Before:


After:


JK Crosmember PCM EG half rad and 12" slim fan


Had to fab an upper mount but that was easy it has no clearance issues it does however sid the rad back a little further but there is still a decent amount of space and plenty of room for a turbo and DP

I personally cut out my rad bar on that side, mounted the rad as low as I could, just enough so it sat at level with the stock crossmember. Then just for safety I took some fairly thick sheetmetal and made an L with it and welded it to the stock rad support just so it protected the bottom of the rad from bottoming out

Then a few zipties and shes golden and snugged to the front of the engine bay

You really do need to drop the rad down ALOT and CUT the top of your hood webbing to get it to not hit though, thats what I didnt like, but its in there and its mint
