Op, never mind the upgrades, I found you a great replacement:

Plenty of brakes on this one, so you won’t even need those trailer brakes. Another big plus is it’s a one year only production, making it the next Typhoon. If only GM had the stones to build something like this, instead we’ve got the new “blazer” LOL 😂

There you go, no need to be an engineer or anything. Just win the lotto and buy a new vehicle...

Also you should add an extra trans cooler. I burned up my trans by letting it overheat while towing my boat. A nice extra is a trans temp gauge. To do that you need a OBD gauge reader.

I also installed a larger radiator but that might be more than you need.
I've looked at doing the radiator. Mine was shot so I just replaced it with a stock one for now but the summer is pretty brutal on it still. I'm just getting into modifying stuff on it. Didn't get to learn much of anything as a kid. Haven't gotten my sea legs when it comes to really breaking into stuff
