I see many modifications folks do to the 250 series trucks to make them either stronger, or better suited to the job of pulling weights they were not built for. Seems many decide after putting thousands of dollars into that truck, to just go buy a larger tow vehicle. In all the years of weighing trucks and trailers, starting out with a truck that came equipped to do the job has been the least expensive way to tow, but here's what I would do. Upgrade the tires and wheels to safely carry the weights you need to carry. Change the rear springs and add either air bags or some other leveling system. Give the trailer disc brakes and buy a air hitch for the truck. The truck will still be overloaded as far as the tag in the door goes, but the towing experience will be better than in the stock form.
