Re: 3100 Tow Rig
I towed a loaded 16 ft U haul behind my 48 for 2500 miles and I'll have to say the tail wagged the dog every inch of that 2500 miles. Just too much weight back there.
A few years later we towed a 15 ft travel trailer all over the PNW behind it with little problem because we had a different setup on the back of the truck for the hitch and a load leveling hitch setup. That took a lot of the wag and sag out of it and I wouldn't tow one without it.
On your truck you will still need overloads of one sort or another with the stock springs.
