    Thicker Fox Shims to Increase Damping?

    2x 15's = 21. You can calculate the effective thickness of 2 or more same diameter shims in a stack by: Sqrt(shim1^2 + Shim2^2) so, sqrt(15^2 + 15^2) or sqrt(450) = 21

    Tires for rocky point

    Even without the beach or the hill, there is a lot of sand all around town. Would be fun to have some Padla Trax to get a little more bite. If you are not going to be driving a lot on pavement you'd have fun. I run 37" BFG KR3's at 10psi.... still gotta watch where I stop.

    yes. They do make restrictor plates you can buy from Summit. 3 or 4 different hole diameters that work with the stock gasket. Or, just pull the guys ot of the thermostat and keep the plate.

    Radiator relocation

    Good comments on the pressure topic. My experience is that you can overcome anything with enough fan. If you are counting on natural air flow to cool you are going to end up with challenges. I think the more you lay it down the less pressure has an effect on the fan efficiency so if you were...

    Nitrogen in Shocks

    150psi is standard. Tuning with N2 is not the best way. The pressure is really there to manage cavitation. Less pressure = cavitation at slower shaft speeds.

    LS thermostat housing gasket??

    There is not a gasket IIRC. Its a seal on the thermostat itself. I think you have to buy a thermostat to get it
