PAC 1218's will work good from SDPC $122. If you want to spend about $130 more the Patriot dual spring kit is also a good choice.

i have the yank 3000 and everytime i drive it i wish i wouldve went with the 3200... but im very happy with the converter.. great if our going to still do light pulling or have a 4 wheeler in the back... but i shouldve went bigger since i never pull....

make sure you get a big enough trans cooler....
