#3, Not possible in the front, and don't want to do that with the duallies. I'm concerned about overheating the brakes in the mountains when I tow various toys. I'll be restricting the air flow enough with the belly pans and the wheel fairings.

#4, Yes, I'm looking forward to that, I think there's a lot to be gained there if I can get some good video with the smoke/flow testing and can observe what the air is actually doing in those areas.

#5, I'm looking for some of those.
Fair and cover to your heart's content. If you're already planning on ducting cooling air through the belly pan, run another duct to each side for the brakes.
