Ag tires? What ag tires?
Those heavy **** Michelins are going to be a little challenge to turn fast, but it'll work out good with a mild 460 and a doubler.
Got to get it wheeling first, no time to waste building a 545 for a couple months and still never get to take it out.
About A/C.... Not something important a mud bogger needs, but it would sure as hell make it nice in the heat of summer!
I have the a/c compressor in my bronco..... well in a 5 gallon bucket behind the seat. Need to put it in, but don't want to pay for freon.... it's still R-12 and that stuff isn't cheap!

Think about the 10-15% parasitic loss due to the compressor running then put into perspective the amount of loss you will have through a C6 and 2 xcases. It would probably blow your mind what 500hp at the crank would translate to at the tires with the AC on.
That is all

I don't know about ya'll, but I can't stand getting the interior covered with mud.....
To much trouble to clean up..... My windows go up before I hit a hole, and if I'm just taking it easy, then I'll put them down, so A/C would be freaking great.
You should have to much trouble with mud getting in your truck with that much lift.... until you get AG's and a little more motor

Every time I do a pull or race, everything goes off: A/C, vents, radio, everything. Some of my buddy's have the a/c blasting and wonder why there's no power.
Still would be nice to get the cab icy cold, turn the a/c off, and then hit the hole.
I get tired of sweating my **** off.

quad, i am fairly certain that the pulleys and brackets do bolt up.
i would say 94% sure, im not positive on the year diffrences. Thats my only thought saying there's a possibility it wont.
