Perfect. Thats what i like to see, statements backed up by factsYeah, that grill took them a lot of effort. There was a ton of engineering that went into the AIR FLOW and cooling for the towing abilities on these.
Read this and you'll see the grill size is a big deal on the JT -

Reading that, all this is to get to the max rating for towing. But as soon as you add larger tires (like who isnt going to add larger tires, right?) you loose the max to rating anyway. Looks like they were getting 6k rating prior to all the improvements. So my whinch bumper, with the winch sitting up higher will decrease the cooling for the tow rating up to 1000 pounds. With this engine, probably wouldnt tow more then 4k anyway. so i should be good with my plan.
@ShadowsPapa and the rest, thanks for digging for the information, appreciate it
