That's a pretty good list. Are the Rancho 9000's the adjustable ones? I was checking those out and thought they might be helpful for towing to reduce squat.

Take some pics of the K&N CAI and the shocks and post 'em when you are done. Cool.

The adjustable shocks will stiffen or soften the ride a bit, but won't do anything for tongue weight lowering the rear. Get an inexpensive set of air bags, you can install them yourself in an afternoon and if you don't opt for the on-board compressor or auto levelers or any of those extra bling-blings you can get away with about $200!!!

I beg to differ! I paid $189 for mine two and a half years ago. The first two places I just checked, Truck Add-Ons and 4 Wheel Online are currently $214 & $209 respectively!
Since putting mine on my Ram, I'm convinced I will add air bags to every truck I purchase in the future, whether it be a half or three-quarter ton...
