What Upgrades needed for a 3/4 ton pickup
I want to thank everyone who responded to my other post "will a 3/4 do". It was very informative. I am making a new post because I thought I could get more answers than just asking on my other post...

Remembering you can't change the manufacturer's payload limit or maximum rear axle limit, you could add airbags to level the tow vehicle and you could insure that the tires and wheels are rated for the weight anticipated.
Wheel and tire rating are more important than the manufacturer payload rating. Knowing EXACTLY which rear axle and ratio you have installed is also very important.
You will likely have to upgrade the radiator, transmission cooler and probably the rear axle ratio.
Remember, older vehicles will likely need tires, brake, shocks and probably front end parts !
