Thanks for the advice guys.

As for towing, the truck has a tow package which includes a tranny temp sensor and warning lights. Plus the block is removeable so I can just yank it off if there are any cooling issues. So far so good though in a 95+ midwest summer.

As for the tires, they are at 36psi and their max is 35. How far over the max can you take tires like these?

Do you really think removing the step bars would make a noticeable difference? There hidden behind the front tires and are pretty aerodynamic. I dont need them to get into the truck but I do kinda like how they look.
