Even though some folks claim to do it fine with an alternator delete, I still consider it quite risky. But anyway, would an underdrive pulley be out of question?
An electric fan is a quite cheap and easy mod which usually tend to have a great cost-effectiveness. Go for it.
Independent rear suspension might make it easier to overcome driveshaft clearance issues with a full-lenght belly pan 
Lowered SUVs, especially 4WD ones, look quite odd.
Possibly the 255/75/17 would still be better than the 265/70/18 due to a (slightly) lower weight and the narrower tread. But anyway, since you're already considering to swap differentials for taller ones, getting a set of tyres with a larger diameter might become redundant at some point. |
I never even thought about an underdrive pulley. I had one on my Dakota. Alternator delete scares me and wouldn't be practical for any future cross country camper trips.
I think this thing looks odd sitting as tall as it does. Seems like there is 6+ inches clearance in the wheel wells.
I will need tires before next winter so my hand will be forced in the next few months. If differentials happen I will probably stick with factory size or even go down size.
