With the lift kit installed the lower radiator hose in its original form kinks and isnt much good.
The modified, cut down MY hose I am using at the moment is OK but I dont see it lasting very long as with engine movement there is no give in this hose and I think it will stretch/tear eventually.
Has anyone found a suitable hose to use for a lifted L series on the lower radiator application that has proven to last well.

Simplest way to go. Even the L series that came with my lift kit had this done. If you're removing a lift kit remember to swap/remove this hose too - it can create some massive issues at a critical moment!Alex wrote:i just cut down the original l-series one (as did everyone else in WA)
had absolutely no issues.
