Please forgive my ignorance but I am really new to lifted trucks and off road set ups. I have been trying to read everything on doing a body lift since that is the direction I want to go. My truck is a daily driver on a 30 mile each way ride so I dont really want a suspension lift. The things I have seen that I need to address when doing a body lift are the following correct?

Over heating due to fans now being higher than the Engine: Get electrical Fans set up
Ugly frame and inner wheel wells and other places: Get or make black spacers to cover
Rear bumper to low: Flip brackets upside down to raise it up
That is all the issues I have seen that I can think of.

Don't believe flipping the brackets will work as the holes are offset and they don't curve down, you would need rear bumper brackets or fab some
