    Not a salesman pitch, obviously do your research and get what you think is the best for your situation, but these are factory tuned and valved to be better than stock, and +1 inch in the front, the added weight of skids, bumper, etc up front are fine but would at worst require different springs...

    Just used a quick calculator online, 120v at .5a is only 60watts, you should be fine even with the truck off in 100watt, I’d still keep it idling to limit battery drain for the extended timeframe

    As long as the truck is running you should be fine, but the buffer may not run at full speed, we used an impact gun with the truck on and it worked but it was weak AF... normal home 120v with a 15amp breaker is delivering 1800watts... a 20amp circuit is up to 2400watts.
