Default Shorter Radiator for A&A S/C

I have a A&A S/C on order, if I run a DeWitts shorter radiator, can I eliminate the use of the radiator cradle spacers?


Thanks

I am using 1/2 inch spacers to lower my cradle. I also modified the cradle to make the radiator sit a little lower. What intake for the blower are you planning on using. I have a 4 inch one on mine which is why I still lowered the radiator.

I did the same. Modified the cradle. I still used some very short spacers, but I wanted to lose as little ground clearance as possible.

Short radiator will eliminate the need for the spacers. You will still need to run the spacers if you want to get a full 4" inlet on the blower though. That doesn't sound like something you are concerned about though.
