    Its all personal preference man. Im a fan of a leveling kit and about a 33" tire. I've never seen a lifted truck that looks good towing, usually riding real low in the back.

    Well, personally I would not lift a towrig. But, as others have stated, that is obviously personal preference.

    I would say (at least if you go with the Dodge) get the KORE suspension system. It gives you enough lift to clear 35's no problem and, from what I remember, it does not lower your load rating at all.

    Good luck with your decision!

    I have a 5" lift and 35s now on my tow rig. Tows fine w/ bags. Next time I need tires though I am gonna get 285s and take the lift off and just do a leveling kit, but I plan on a slide in camper in the future too.
