I think you'll see an incremental improvement, but not a transformational one. Definitely not profound enough to put a smile on your face.
I almost went down this road years ago. Wound up with a different truck instead. For three tows a year, I'd go back to that version of myself and tell me to live with it and enjoy camping.
It sounds like you want the new gears pretty bad. . . which makes me even more sure that you won't feel you get your money's worth. The overall experience may not meet your expectations.
Good luck.
(Sometimes the best things that happen to me on this forum is everybody talks me out of spending a lot of money. That's always good advice!) $2,500 can buy a lot of gas, food, beer, and nights at a campground!
