I do believe it is there towing clutch, first and foremost its a DD. i'm only competiting in a work stock class. they gave south bend a call and thats what they recomended for my application. but if any one has a better idea throw them out. its a 5.9 6spd, no current power adders(future holds a smarty intake and exhaust) gotta be a DD. also turning 35x1250. i tow usually under 20k. i don't know what one they said he just wrote the price down. o and its got a rating 550hp and 1200ft-lbs if that helps.

3850 12 button if you wanna use southbend can still be a DD and will last a while for pulling also SFI rated which is what you want ... the clutch you got a quote for sounds like a 3200 6 button, good choice for a smooth DD but pulling is gonna kill it.

There are so many options on clutches it's crazy! I know I ask for a lot but I only want to do this once and do it right. Don't have the money to not be satisfied with it

Thing is pulling is very hard on the clutch, all your "street clutches" will work for a while but will not last.

Do you have to use southbend? Haisleys street puller is a great clutch

Haisleys would be my choice, give them a call and tell them what your trying to do.
