What is considered the "weakest link" on a 1500 in terms of towing capacity and GVRW? I know that beefier suspension or suspension helpers like air bags help you ride level and improve loaded handling but they don't increase the GVRW. If someone was to upgrade one component other than suspension to help haul heavy loads what would you recommend?
The things that I thought of that might be limiting factors would be (not in any particular order): the front IFS suspension, Tranny, brakes, other drive train components like axles and hubs. I could be completely off base though and I don't know which of the above if any is the "weakest".
If one was going to haul loads frequently lower gears would help too. I've got 3.73 which afaik is the lowest that came from the factory with the L31.
