Re: Suggestions for upgrades to tow? 79 C10
Another thing to check is what rear spring setup you have. 6000lb trailer = about 600lb tongue weight. Probably want the HD spring setup.
Also check the brakes. IMO, you want the HD brakes if you are doing mountains. Going with a hitch or do you have properly rated towing bumper? |

6 ply tires (minimum). Frame mounted receiver hitch. Trailer brake controller. HD brakes front and rear. HD rear springs. Shift kit in the transmission and a cooler. Proper gearing depending on tire size. You're going to be towing a trailer that is heavier than the truck
