Towing suggestions

I'm gonna start towing stuff with my truck and was wondering what all I can do to set it up for towing. I'm gonna put some 3/4 HD springs in it and of course get a hitch, but I was wondering if there's anything else I can do to get it ready. I've got coils all around.

I would recomend putting a brake control in. This is an important feature if you plan on towing a lot or towing over 40% of GVW. Make sure not to use a bumper hitch! You can get a HD hitch for just over $100 and they are easy to install. You can also put a sway bar over the rear axle. This will aid in cutting down on sway. Hope this helps.
