Rod;
I'm familiar with the one ton 7.4L combination you have. I know you will have the power to do what you want but you need a towing gear for this added load and aero drag. I'm pretty sure a 4:56 or 5:14 ring and pinion is available. I would go with the latter. Besides the added performance on hills with a 5:14 gear, you would actually see better fuel economy when towing because you won't have to be as deep into the throttle when cruising. It's money well spent.
Good luck;
Chuck
