GMC 1500 Z-71 what mods for towing ?

I an about to purchase a new Bambi. My tow vehicle is 2000 GMC 4 wheel dr Z-71 with 5.7 liter and 3.73 rear end. What mods if any modifications should I make to the truck? The factory package that came with the truck has a heavy duty frame mounted receiver hitch and is wired with a seven pin conector.GMC says I can tow up to 8000#. I am thinking that I should install (1) Electric brakes (2) Larger mirrors (3) Transmisson temperature gauge. Is that all? This is my first trailer all that I've towed in the past is a Jet Ski, so I really could use the help from any of you more experienced in trailer towing. Thanks
