Re: Can I add a pusher fan to stock set-up?

I do. I am going to have to find the right spacer, it is cheaper to try that first.

Reposted just in case it was missed You should not need any spacer -- the clutch unit should have a flange that bolts directly to the WP, no additional spacer needed or desired.

Yours may be different if non-stock parts have been swapped in.

Ok, I think I tried that and the bolts were too long, then bought shorter bolts that were too short =) Will look at it again.

This is how you want a stock clutch fan to look in the stock shroud.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

That setup work perfect for about 20 years in my truck. I never once had a over heating issue with it.

Re: Can I add a pusher fan to stock set-up?

Another idea. You said you put a" new long nose water pump on. Is that why the fan is so close to the Rad.?
