The backs of the fan blades are 3/4" ahead of the back edge of the fan shroud, so more like 1-1/2" to1-3/4" movement would be better. Most of the equipment here has slotted holes, so I should be able to massage them a bit.

Looks like I have a center support carrier in my near future, too.

Davepl- I am considering an auxiliary fan, but want the rest of this ironed out first. All this hot running is without using the AC. My truck has dual exhaust, as well, btw.

Heres what the rear of the front shaft looks like on mine. I also had to replace that carrier bearing on mine. Looks like you will have adequate clearance to move the whole drivetrain back a bit to get the fan lined up.
