2. Going to upgrade tires given everything I read. Will get Salian tires and will ask the dealer to do that? Not sure if he does that but safety is key for my wife and I.
Thoughts?
Thank you.

The disc brakes are a night and day difference.
My concern with your set up would be your tow rig. Without looking it up, I seriously doubt your 21 year old 3/4 ton truck is anywhere near legally capable of handling that trailer. It WILL have a pin weight north of 2860lbs, witch I am sure is WELL beyond your payload capacity.
