Re: Your thoughts about some items

#1 Without re-gearing your going to loose 5th gear for normal driving use.

#2 your going to get axel wrap problems with a spring over. If your not the best with a cutting tourch and welder new 4 inch springs from some after market supplier will give you a better ride than a spring over. Also look into double wrapped type spings

#3 There revolvers are nice and will un-load giving you that extra articulation. But several of my rock crawler buddies have since pulled them off going to a boomarang type shackle because the revolvers have unloaded on them in some places where you really didnt want them too.

#4 With the right electric fan you can produce greater air flow than with a flex or clutch type fan driven by the front belt. Plus at lower RPM's like rock crawling your electric fan will run at higher speeds since its not driven off the front drive belt.

#5 Personally I am not a fan of the pocket type flares, they catch mud and other chit and have to be washed out.
