Thanks lol. I really need to do a MSD so I can apply a rev limiter. Notice the windshield? Says "FAN ON??", wonder why? Lol. Yea. Kept forgeting to turn it on. I have it on a switch so I can turn it off during deep water crossings. Id love to just have it on a thermostat and then a switch. It pretty much needs to always be on since Im running a stock V6 radiator though.

That's an easy setup for the fan. If you already have it set up with a relay you can use at tstat in the head as the ground for the relay and still be able to keep the switch in the cab as well. I just did it not to long ago for less than $15 and 30 minutes of my time. If you still had the v6 I'd show you what I used but not sure it will work for your application. Let me know if you want to see it anyway and I'll dig up part numbers for you! Thanks for the pics of the springs as well that's exactly what I was looking for.

Did some more work. Over arched the rear springs. So I replaced them with new 52" Rough Country 2" lift springs to level it back out. Sits even now. Did new shocks front and rear. And bump stops up front. Still need to do my rear bump stops. Tossed some lower power 35 watt halogens up front so I can run on the street at night (semi legally lol).

Well, got some more work done. Got some Warn High and Low beam headlights. Installed some KC Cyclone LED rock lights. Did a rear bumper/spare tire carrier. Redid my storage in back and general cleanup under the hood. Now just to finish my front bumper and rock sliders and do wiring. Does 90 down the highway no problem
