Talking Getting a 2012 on Thursday!

Ok, so it looks like I am trading in my '07 3500 QC SRW with the G56 in for a 2012 3500 CC SRW Larmie with the 68RFE. I am a little nervous about leaving the 5.9 world, I have owned the '07 since new, which has been over five years! It only has 80k, but I am getting a hell of deal that I can't refuse! I have been researching these new trucks and the 6.7 seems to be doing better than it was in late '07 and '08, which is why I got a 5.9 to begin with. I am also concerned about the auto tranny, I will not be turning up the wick on this truck anytime soon, but will in the future. I had just got a tuner for the '07 about two weeks ago. I guess the days of adding 2 stroke oil at my fill ups are coming to an end!!!
So the mods I am looking to do in the next few months are fit a class V hitch, install a 2 inch leveling kit so I can put on my 19.5's and install a steering stabilizing bar. What others should I add to the list?

I don't like to be the bata test guy...plus I would have to wait at least another year to get the price I am getting for the truck I am getting!!! I know the aisin tranny is a big carrot and I would love to get one, but I can wait. Going to the 4th gen is already big step for me.

You're going to love your new truck, and your passengers will especially appreciate the extra back seat room. Congrats! Be sure and post pictures.
