Why did you choose fox over kings? Think I’m going king and would like to make sure I haven’t missed something
The Fox shocks seem to have a good reputation. I thought King only makes coilovers too, or am I wrong about that?
That's why they make electric puller fans, much more effiecient solution that would more than likely meet your requirment.
What does the stock fan move CFM wise?
Even the famous budget friendly Ford Taurus conversion works really well, pulling in 4500 CFM from the junkyard.
Ive been looking at this:

While I havnt dug deep into yet, I will probably look for a company that is here in the USA. Although I do lean towards brands who support our "sport/hobby."
If you look at the Magnum Powers supercharger here, you'll see it comes with an electric puller fan (it's a SPAL unit):

The reason for this is because since this supercharger has its own drive pulley that attaches to the crankshaft pulley, that extra belt doesn't allow any room for the stock fan. Because of this, you have to convert to an electric fan.
Charles (the guy who makes them) was saying no one has has any overheating issues except for a few guys down in really warm places like Texas or Arizona. This is because the heat exchanger (that cools the charged air) is quite large, and they have you mount it in front of the A/C condenser, which is also in front of the radiator. It makes sense that at that point the radiator is so blocked off, that it's not getting enough air.
So, I was speaking with Charles the other day, and he was saying that the way people have gotten around this is by mounting the heat exchanger up under the vehicle, right where my DeRale automatic transmission cooler will be mounted. He showed me some photos of it, and it looks good. It mounts under there with some brackets he's going to give me, and a small pusher fan attaches to it (again, just like the DeRale). This way you don't have to worry about restricted air flow to the radiator.
My wife has gotten pretty annoyed at me a few times over the years and contemplated her options.
Even if she decided to deploy the nuclear option, we still would be "attached" because of the age of our kids. But so far so good, she has put her finger on the launch nukes button a couple of times but not depressed it.
My wife will say things when she is mad (just like we all do), but I am making a bit bigger deal out of it than it really is. Truthfully, I don't think it's that she hates the Jeep (because come Summer time, she's always asking to ride in it), it's just that she doesn't understand why I care about it so much.
Believe me, I'm a smart guy, and I genuinely thought there was any chance she would divorce me over this, I would tone it down. That's honestly not going to happen. I'm more or less having fun with the thread title (and giving her a hard time), just because it's one of those "guy things" she doesn't get.
But yeah, it's a lot harder to divorce someone when you have kids, that's for sure. My parents are proof of that. They stayed together until we were all 18, then got divorced. They said they didn't want a divorce at a young age to do any damage to us. Truthfully, as a child, I never even knew they were unhappy. They did a damn good job of hiding it!
