My truck is a 96 model with a K&N and a set of pullies and a 3.55 gear. Its an Auto, I pull my race car ( weight 3000 lbs ) and a 20 ft BIG TEX Utility triler ( weight 2650 ) as fast as I want to. The truck can pull it faster than I want it to, Now I been around horses alot and I know thier heavy when loaded into a decent size trailer with tach and saddles and feed and stuff like that. I would recommed just by changing the gear first. You didnt specify if its 2wd or 4wd, Not knowing lets say if it is 2wd, lets just assume it is, Probably a 3.55 gear, Put a 4.10 in it. IF I wasnt driving back and forth to school and didnt have to worry about gas now I would to. The stock motor has so much more potential if you just make the truck where you can use all of it. Swap gears and see what difference there is. And thats alot cheaper than building a new long block.
