I dont see where that would come in to conflict with pulling? If anything it would help out your performance...

I'd use a hitch.

Edit: No. You'll be fine. More power is always good.

LOL, that was good

The only way I'd see there being a problem would be if you overdid it on the primary size that would cause you to lose some low end velocity...
