If you put  diff gears in it (5.83s) it would lower your high range (14%) and give it a bit more peep for towing.

Lower gearing ='s more grunt  ;D

How ever you can expect to use more gas as well  :'(

5:83s would be great for towing but are pretty expensive. A cheaper option might be to pick up a set of stock wheels and 195 tyres, I think you would easily notice the difference. The lower height would also give you a bit more stability.

600 bucks puls shiping and another cupple hundred to set them up.  really the easyer and way cheaper way would be to put some small tires on it for towing.

also would 5.83's be too low for running on the high way with only 30's???
