Without comma's in that big long sentence, I cant tell if you have any item you listed after the BHAF. But assuming you have everything listed, a mild timing box like the Edge EZ will help a lot while towing. But if you have an auto then your next move above everything would be to help the transmission.

Those two items would be first. A tranny temp gauge will help you understand what you'll need to do in regards to additional cooling when you're towing since fluid temp over 225* is a problem. The truck wont warn you until the tranny is around 275* and by that time the fluid is cooked.

OK so I'm thinking tc and vb after I get the fass. Then get edge with attitude so I get a tuner and gauges all at once

The LCD display is nice because it contains all the gauges in one package but.....that Edge will make short work of your tranny. You'd have to turn it way way down to save the tranny while towing. That said, I dont believe you have to tap the VP which means the upper horsepower settings would be disabled.

OK thanks I think I'm gonna buy a bad trans and build/rebuild it so I can still have my truck as a daily driver then just throw everything at it at once

I thought no, but you may want to research that further just to be sure.
