Towing with 315/75's and a 4.6

I haven't towed anything with my truck in a while...not since i went up to 315s at least. I fill up the bed a lot...but thats about it. I was wondering how towing a 4000 lb camper is gonna be with 3.55s & a 4.6 and 315s...i know i need to change the gearing...but the money...sniff, it just isnt there. Any help, advice, cheap ideas to help (dont think there are any :o ) Thanks.

hehehehe, you already know it's not the best situation. Might not be too bad, just turn of the overdrive, and go. The seat of your pants will tell you how it goes.

by the way chris...i love your truck, the fabtech +3" or the RCD + 3" is what i want to do...if i could only find a money tree...where the hell did all those things go off to? I'm glad that someday i'll be able to find a truck like yours used...and then i will finally be happy. but that really does look like an awesome ride. great job.
