Is the down rod really necessary?

No it is not. I removed the down rod to prevent the fan from moving in windy weather.

As shown in the product description, the fan can be installed in the standard, flush or angled positions. My fan was installed without using the down rod and looks great, since I preferred the fan to be closer to the ceiling of my outdoor patio.

A down rod give you space between the ceiling and the blades of the fan. If you have a low ceiling, you might need a 6" down rod or none at all. I have a very high ceiling. I used a 36" down rod to bring the fan lower into the room. There are guidelines for measuring how low a fan should be. With the one I used, I have plenty of head room. The fan looks beautiful and the balance in the room is right.

I don't think so --- my boyfriend put them up and I think it is only if you want it to be lower

Greetings, Most vehicles will need a camber kit to prevent premature wear on the tires after lowering springs are installed. If the drop is an inch or less, usually it is not required.

Yes, it can be, but it is so much easier to install with the down rod. It also looks better this way. Also you seem to get more airflow with the down rod. I have 2, 1 flush mounted and 1 with the down rod. I like the one with the down rod the best. Hope this helps.

I wish I could help....I flush mounted mine so I really didn't pay attention to the down rod that came with it. The picture implies a good foot or more but I can't promise you that. Sorry I can't help more.

If you are targeting heavier fish its a great rod. I fish mine with a senator 4/0 and it does great. It does not have much play in the tip, so for fish on the lower end it is a little stiff.

I don't think you can - my electrician used the shortest downrod but his opinion was that it had to use one- need clearance for blades and place for wires

I'd personally recommend something more substantial and modular. I'd invest in a 15mm rod system. Instead of buying cheap and buying twice.

I think you need the downrod but the guy who installed mine cut it to the right length. You can also buy other sizes of downrods for $10 or so at Home Depot

You can but the guides are kinda cheap so i would watch that area. After years of complaining about the cheap guides Shakespeare finally listened and introduced the Gx2 rods. However the ugly cat as far as i know (might wanna check) didnt get the new guides and other improvements. Rinse the rod out with freshwater as soon as you done. This rod doesnt have a lot of backbone so unless you fishing for smaller game i would go with something else.

I would not use a two piece rod for trolling. I think the drag from the boat and the down planer may put to much stress on the joints

I wouldn't recommend it. The rollers are fairly narrow, so you may want to tend towards something with eyes. Don't get me wrong, it is a great rod and has served me well thus far, but it is more geared toward trolling or deep-dropping.

No it's not necessary at all. We installed one faucet with pull down sprayer. Works perfectly.

The 2008.5 pitman arm changes the angle on the tie rod to reduce wear. You don't need it but it's recommended. If you already have a drop pitman you do not need the 2008.5 pitman. I would also recommend you get the steer box brace and get the ball joints looked at. It will be a world of difference

Depending on how steep the pitch is- probably. The down rod is not very long.

No the guide rod is a desperate purchase..but believe me its well worth the money spent. It is an unbelievable difference in felt recoil and improved accuracy.

I did not use a long down rod, just what came in the box. I will say that the fans were balanced pretty well right out of the box.

It comes with a 2" & a 3" down rod. If you need a longer one you will have to order one. Hope this helps.
