My suggestion would depend on how much you wanted to do to your truck. You shouldn't have any problem towing with a 4/6 drop and a trailer, taking into consideration the load is evenly distributed over the axle. The flip side to that is you can run helper bags like alot of guys here do and you wouldn't have anything to worry about. The 2/4 kit works just as good but if the bumper weight is increased it could bottom out without the c-notch installed. I've seen guys tow with both drops, so with that in mind, your options are endless with these trucks!

Nice quads man, we pulled quads, and a 6x10 steel enclosed trailer with dropped trucks all the time so I'd say your good.

i've pulled a smaller trailer with ONE atv on it... and a 19ft bass boat with no problems (with a 4/6)

You'll have no problems towing at 4/6. Will want to notch the bed floor brace to help clear the rear axle. Helper bags will definitely help.

Well rims where the last thing on my mind but a great trade came up so with no money out of my pocket i got these. I am going to get bigger tires in about 2 weeks these tires are almost new but i need a bigger side wall lol! Tell me what you think.
