Looking for your feedback on my plans. Starting with this truck: http://www.dieseltechmag.com/build-series/big-blue

Weekend use for towing 9k lb travel trailer and overland trips.

Plans:

35" BFG KO2
17x9 Procomp 7069 Wheels (Backspace = 4.75; Max Load =3420lbs; Offset = -6mm)
Hawk Superduty Pads
Powerstop cryo slotted rotors
Icon dual steering stabalizer mount and shocks
Yukon zip lockers F&R
Yukon 4.11 gears (currently 3.73)
Firestone airspring / daystar mounts
Dynatrack ball joints (need replacement anyways)
Dynatrack freespin hubs
Icon 4" leaf spring system (unknown current lift but suspension is shot)
Icon 2.0 Shocks (would dual's make a difference on washboard roads?)
ARB air compressor
46 gal TransferFlow Tank
Winch - Probably warn 12k, unknown model. Any suggestions?
Softtopper Shell
Custom rock rails or nfab nerf steps
Line-X rockers and flares (color match or black?)
Fusion rear bumper

Unknown:

Will spare tire fit in original location? If not possible tire mount on rear bumper.

Front bumper not winch ready and rear bumper won't be tire mount ready however they were free so maybe cost less to modify than get new?

Should I be worried about cooling when towing? Is there stock trans and oil coolers? Should I add or upgrade? Would mishimoto intercooler/radiator make a big difference when the original's have 170k miles on them?

Let me know what I'm missing, doing wrong, or wasting my money on.
