I used to have a 3200 and it was horrible IMO to drive around town, really would **** me off running 2000-3000 to get to 30mph, but man was that 3200 fun when I laid my foot into it. Wish a stall existed of shifting in stock rpm range for dd and only dropping to 5K at WOT.

Enable 3rd gear lockup at 1100rpm, 4th gear lockup at 1100rpm, practice with throttle.

(rough translation: 3rd lockup @ 20mph, 4th lockup at 29mph, daily drive a 4600 stall)

More clutch surface is always better (well, as long as it still works)

Anyone with a stalled, 2WD truck drive in the snow? Just curious if it makes things more difficult.

Makes things easier. Just gotta be easy on the pedal. There's more room for error with higher stall as long as it's not a super tight converter.
