So many people go out and buy 300, 350, 400, and high amp alts and then call in talking about how their voltage is dropping at idle. For a daily driver vehicle running one alt you do not need to go with a 300+amp alternator. I will not even sell a 300amp alt to a daily driver vehicle. When you get into that high of an amperage alternator you are going to lose out at idle.
We cant post pics of our alts on the site, because other companies will come in and steal bracket designs. That is why most are not put up on sites for everyone to see or generic pictures are posted up.
I would go with a 250amp alt that does good at idle. With the batteries you have your voltage SHOULDN'T be dropping that much. You figure the kinetic 2400 is about the same physical size as our D3100 and our D3100s are good for 5000+ watts each.

For what you've got, a 200 should be fine.
