Towing with a lift - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey guys, I need some help with towing questions. I kinda have 2 questions. First of all, I have a ~5000lb 26ft travel trailor with electric brakes. I was wondering how many of you pull something like this.

1. I need to know if the old blazers need extra cooling (engine or tranny) or anything for reliability. It has the tow kit with the tranny cooling in the radiator.

2. My blazer has a block lift in the rear. Not my install (damn POs). Needless to say it's a little saggy in the back. I'm interested in upgrading. Keeping in mind an extra 1500lbs of toung weight, what is my best bet for upgrade? Springs? Shackle flip? Add-a-leaf?
