purchased the Smarty Jr and ISSPRO gauges today. I'll be selling my banks so I can offset my purchases. Thanks for the help.

Good luck with the tranny. Adding more power, more weight, and 3:73 with 35" tall tires sounds like you will be upgrading the tranny sooner than you might want to.

You have everything working against you for towing. Does your wife like driving the truck with the big tires? I would consider regearing first for that big trailer, even before any power adders. Smaller tires too. You'll find that with your current set-up, you'll be lucky to get 45mph on the big hills in L2, even with the Smarty on the tow setting.

I tow with 285's (33") with 4.10 gears giving an effctive gear ratio of 3.90. Tows awesome.

We can spend all of your money for you, no problem. Do you have a budget?
