Towing Upgrades

Feel like I’m running in circles researching/looking for the best brands and parts for my 1996 7.3L. So much conflicting answers, just want it straight. The old girl has 265k on the body, less than 100k on a rebuild. Very soon it’ll be used primarily as my work and tow rig as I transition to full time with my excavation business. I want to know the best upgrades to keep it going and from breaking down when hauling heavy.
Just installed a Hydra Chip

Need recommendations for;
Gauges/setup (EGT, trans etc.)
Trans Cooler
Exhaust
Air Intake
Trailer Brake Control
Anything else I’m forgetting

(links would be awesome)
Thank you!

Welcome to PSN!

First, I do my own work so I sink my money into the very best parts.

Need recommendations for;
Gauges/setup (EGT, trans etc.) I like the CTS 2 or 3
Trans Cooler Mishimoto for the Tranny cooler - I live and tow in Arizona so keeping it cool is a must.
Exhaust Love my Jamo 4"
Air Intake I stuck with the stock and use only Motorcraft filters
Trailer Brake Control Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller
