275/70/18, 325/60/18, or ?????

Hey guys! I am currently running 325/60/18 Nitto Terra Grapplers on my truck, but when I buy my next tires I am thinking of changing sizes a bit but I wanted to get some input on what size you guys think I should run.

My truck has a 2.5" AS kit, 5.4L and 3.73 gears. I use it about 60% of the time for towing our 7000lb camper.

So what do you guys think, should I go to a 275/70/18 stick with 325/60/18 or is there another size that you would suggest? (I don't want to go any shorter of a tire than I have now)

TIA

275/70 is 0.2 inches shorter, so that may help a bit with towing, but marginally. i run 275/70-18 in the winter just for the narrower tire to help with traction and to stay inside the fenders. i love my 12.5 wides in the summer though. going to a narrower tire changes the look drastically. if you're happy with the 325s I would stick with them

That's a drastic change in width...I'd stick with the 325's.
