if you searched on here you would know that you wasted money on the k and n, and also why not just get new stock stuff? if you want to just tow make sure the quad set up is on there, a trans cooler as well. I can not reccomend anything to you but i have skyjacker coils, and procomp leafs but i havent put them on yet.

I previously owned a '94 and thought it rode quite well stock. I would be more concerned with the quality of the hitch. What kind of tongue weight will you have? 500lb? With a good hitch and the equalizer you might be okay if you don't take too much weight off the back tires when you crank down the equalizer hitch.
My father-in-law towed his 25 foot trailer behind the Dodge that looks like the Bronco/Blazer. It was a pretty heavy trailer. The quality hitch and the equalizer made it so he could tow his trailer and do the speed limit. But it was only 55mph back then
Are you planning on towing at freeway speeds?
I personally would have a hard time towing anything down there on those freeways. Plus there is the crosswinds, longer stopping distances, not to mention the crazy drivers.

The EB has towing package, so it has the tranny cooler and stock hitch. Not sure if I need to upgrade the hitch or the tranny cooler. I will have a brake controller put in (probably a prodigy or a p3). I plan to replace existing shocks with Bilstein HD's too as well as replace sway bar bushings, leaf spring bushings, from the forum, go with Velvet Ride shackles and TRY to do a rear brake disc upgrade w/ a 250/350 booster & mc. I want to also install progressive coils up front - probably skyjacker unless I read that there's a better spring for the money. So, my last thought on the rig was the rear leafs and what I need to do there - stock 3 pack, or upgrade to a 4- or 5- pack from a 250/350 or go with a Skyjacker softride setup (which I think ?? is 4 pack anyway at stock height).I previously owned a '94 and thought it rode quite well stock.

The trailer will have a weight distribution hitch (WDH) with sway bars - reese pro I think is what the guy at Camping World recommended. The tongue weight specs are around 500lbs. I'm thinking the WDH will help here.
I do plan to drive around 55-65mph. I don't have a super heavy foot with gas prices these days and plus with the family and a trailer, I'll probably keep it safe.
