Sounds like a fun project Jason. Not sure how adequate they are these days with the continuing moving targets the industry has been offering us but these Genasun controllers <https://sunforgellc.com/product/gvb-8-wp/> might be a key problem solver for your array to battery ratio. Obviously we all have significant access to our preferred battery solutions but my client had good luck sourcing the right form factor for his Ranger conversion through https://www.sunfunkits.com/. At the time I recall not being able to offer him much better options with similar attributes for the price he was able to get.
