[QUOTE="Dane, post: 1678386, member: 2494"] Oooo, I can help here. I tow through the Rockies frequently with a Roush supercharged 2012. I'm running the 69mm pulley, 65mm throttle body, and Kooks full true dual exhaust. My travel trailer/toy hauler is 5,700 dry and can start getting close to 8,000 depending on what I throw in there + gas/water/toys/etc. Power and brakes aren't your concern. You'll have as much power as you want to make your motor scream and burn gas. Your concerns are heat. The first thing that gets hot is your transmission. You CAN overheat it on some uphill pulls, especially if you have to go slow due to traffic and don't have air passing over your transmission cooler. I upgraded my tranny cooler and I put in an oversized AFE transmission pan. These helped a lot. Next heat concern is motor, after transmission you can start heating up the motor unless you chill out on certain uphill pulls - this is when you can get on the gas and aren't stuck in traffic. Think places like pulling up to Winter Park or a few nasty hills on I70. I upgraded my radiator to a CBR and it helped, but I still have to be mindful in certain places. I have also upgraded my heat exchanger to the AFCO with fans. I have +3 Deavers in the rear as well as the SDHQ frame reinforcement/adjustable bump stop setup and I don't have much problem suspension-wise. I'm not familiar with your suspension, but it's a good guess that the extra leaf would be helpful. I always use a WDH, I would have extreme sag without it. [/QUOTE]
