Since I don't know how much experience you have with 12 volt wiring I wanted to point out the issue of stock wiring and how you intend to wire the lights. Using stock wiring to power them directly can cause the wires to burn up since the stock wire gauge may not be heavy enough to handle the load. If your intent was to use stock wires then adding a stronger alternator would just make matters worse. I know that after market lights are often sold with a relay and harness. But bear in mind that the wire gauge size in that harness was chosen for the wattage of that particular light set (well hopefully it was-i have found these to be a bare minimum wire gauge). Adding multiple sets of lights can change things and needs to be well planned out to make sure your getting maximum voltage to all the light sets and not in danger of overloading the wires. Assuming you truck isn’t filled with maxed out stereo equipment it's likely your battery and alternator is sufficient.
