It's a little more complicated than new brakes and wider tires, those should be the last things to worry about. Fortunately you're in the right place for everything else 😉

You should do some planning first, figure out how you're going to do things before you do them. Research and ask questions about what works and what doesnt work, learn from other peoples mistakes.

First off, figure out where your radiator is going to go, i suggest the spare tire well with air vents on the front lower valence, and hot air out into the front beam cavity behind the spare tire well.
