since nobody else has mentioned it ... bigger tires/rims and brakes.
sounds like you are planning on towing heavy ? if so, you may want to pay extra attention to the word Conanski mentioned ... "legally". it's all fine and dandy until there's a collision; that's when the lawyers start circling the carcass.

Not worried about a great increase in capacity: I just have a 5200lb WWII Dodge to tow, and I anticipate around a 1000lb trailer(est), and a 6800lb towing capacity, according to the literature... It is not a regular towing issue- just an occasional one, but I always try to improve things. That and I want to eventually add 4WD...
