Default Dual electric fans

So I want to run dual electric fans...but not as a conversion but as an addition to my stock cooling system, no I figure that 2 10"x2.5" will fit In-between the radiator and grill but I'm wondering if anyone has ever done this, maybe there is a reason why I can't find a thread about this so if anybody has any ideas on mounting or fitting to help me figure out the best way to get these in that would be great thanks for the help guys!

( in NC sitting at a light in the summer I can get up to 220+ so I want to use them with a switch as a "oh ****" moment)

Pullers are more efficient than pushers.

If you did, my suggestion would be to leave one on the existing electric fan relay (automatically come on), and one on a switch for when things get hot and heavy.

What's the reasoning behind that?
I was gonna run two separate switches

Some people recommend doing it so that you don't forget to turn on the fans when it gets hot. I have both my electric fans ran to one switch. I just flip it on when I get in simple as that. I prefer my way so that I don't ruin a fan if I have to cross through some water. But it's just personal preference.

If you are going to be taking it offroad more than a DD then I like Hayden's idea. Mine is 99% on road for now, and I sit in traffic at least 3 days a week, so it's one less thing to worry about.
