Beefing up 1/2 ton panel

Finally getting around to doing something to the panel.Racecar has been time and MONEY consuming.

I need to beef the panel suspenion some for towing the race car. Will eventually be towing 28 to 32 foot enclosed trailer. For good while it will be open trailer.Going to build all aluminum trailer,less weight = less stress on truck and lot less gas. Still when finished it will not be that lite.

Wondering whats best way to beef the frame and suspenion for towing extra weight,Might as well do it first time out for what it might need to tow.In stock form I have seen the speedo on 110 with 28' camper behind it.

Motor wise the 454 has new 4.250 crank and pistons sitting here for it. Mild port cleanup and a new cam yet to decide on,Headers,true dual exhaust.Trans going turbo 400 and later on gearvendor unit will be added.Power wise I should be fine lots of torgue on tap.
