Just inherited an 03 limited rwd from the mrs as she has just bought a 2012.

I will mostly be using this as my tow vehicle as my DD is a 2010 Dodge Charger.

I'm planning on towing a 6'x8' box motorcycle trailer (950lb empty). I'm planning on using a weight distribution hitch with sway control. Possibly use it to tow the charger to the track on a full dolly once in a while.

I'm aiming on the following mods:

* Lift kit (not sure on specs yet)
* Rear spring support air bags
* New paint (8 years in florida where not nice to the clear)
* Light bar and cargo rack
* Exhaust system
* Rims + tires

Newbie questions:

* Am I going to need an additional trans cooler?
* How is the lift going to play with towing?
* Is it possible to retrofit ABS to a model without it?

Work already done:

* New long block at 71k
* K&N drop in filter
* Rear window regulators changed (at least 3 times)
* New upper control arms ~8mo ago
* New rotors and pads al round ~8mo ago


Any other newbie things I should know?
