Undertray or air dam
With the high ride height, I think smoothing out the underside would make more sense than an air dam.
If you manage to get the air dam and underbody tray integrated, this may be worth.

replace fan with electric
An easy mod which usually leads to great results, and the engine getting up to its operating temperature sooner is also advantageous.

remove alternator, replace with battery w solar/plugin charging
Removing alternators is something I always take with a grain of salt. Would it be out of question to either fit it with an underdrive pulley or switching to a smaller-capacity alternator?

remove AC, replace with?
In my country, it's not unusual to see commercial trucks with a swamp-cooler instead of an AC.

Auto stop/start
No idea if this is even feasible as a mod.
Possible? Yes. Just don't expect it to be so easy at all, unless you're good to work with electronics.
