Long Post Mod Install Order?

Which order should I install mods, and which mods should I group together
in order to save install time?

Ok, my stock 98 12v 5speed 4x4
purpose is to be used for towing (to about 8K for now), need to pull hills
no race, no pulls, just want really good performance for my towing


haven't done kdp, not sure about 5th gear nut either
sometimes when I'm towing in 4WD seems like my rear tires spin a little bit

JAN 03 new Sach Clutch Assy from AITA Clutch(and machined flywheel)
Sep 04 ??clutch kit

JAN 07 the transfer case and transmission got new seals, and the transfer case got a new chain
(all previous owner)

Also need to know which mods NOT to do before I beef up the clutch
(want to delay for now)

K&N FIPK in garage, need to install

1 -- Gauges boost (0-30 or 60?) egt (?temp) fuel pressure (0-60???)

2--3k GSK (do I have to upgrade clutch first?)

3- AFC spring kit

4--Posi-Lok 2WD-4WD kit

5--#10 fuel plate (pretty sure I should upgrade clutch first, right?)

a boost elbow?? goes with fuel plate?

6--tune timing to 15-15.5?

I am NOT a mechanic and I can't even understand most of the principles behind this stuff...but i read, I'm pretty handy with a wrench and I
can follow instructions...

appreciate the advice I read here and is there anything I'm overlooking?

IMO I would say do the KDP first and while your in there bump-up your timing.
Then gauges pyro/boost (get the 60# so you don't end up re buying like every one does)
IMO you don't need a fuel pressure gauge.
Then go ahead and do the pump work put in the #10,boost elbow and gsk kit all at one time since your there.
Probably wont have any problems with the replacement clutch if you leave the plate back from FF

Kdp first for sure, u dont want that thing coming out and ruining ur day before u start modding. Gauges, then a 10 plate & 3gsk, then ur clutch will be asking to be upgraded. Then from there, its up to you how far you wanna take it (bigger turbo, injectors)
