I would do that sooner than later, I run my stock rig with fan, lights and wipers I am at a full 54 amps on my system, I had it tested. Currently running a stock 63 amp 10 DN alternator and that thing is maxed out at more than 75 % of working amps.

You will find you need additional amps as most alternators at rated at maximum output. Everything I have read informs me to add an additional 25 percent to keep from burning up alternators from overuse.
