Default Opinions wanted please

Alright here it goes. i CANNOT decide which way i wanna go with my truck. I already have painted handles comin, mirror caps are painted, windows tinted, and bed line-xed.

This thing is going to be seeing some towing, ALOT , comin up here this summer. I am going to be purchasing a new travel trailer in about a month or two, so a huge lift or a large drop is out of the range.

The wife has already aproved a project truck within the next year, maybe a little longer. that one will definatly be bagged.
im kinda thinkin:
1. drop the rear level with the front on some 20's with a decent tire. i wanted to get some intro's but i think i will save the intro's for the future project truck.

2. raise the front level with the rear and do like some 18's and some meats.

What is your guys thoughts? any other idea's? im very open to your guys thoughts.
(Please keep in mind that putting this into a garage is a MUST.)

And for reference a pic-->

Since its 4 wheel drive I'd say lift the front and level it out then put some tires around the 33 inch range on some 18's. Dropped crewcabs look good but only if they're at least a 3/5, which would be too low for your application it sounds like. JMO.

20'' lift, 49" Irok's should do it! Seriously, though, just do a small lift and some 33's. It'll look real good.

Like everyone else said, do the lift since it is a 4x4.

Level the front, wheels and tires, and go all out on the project truck!! If you do any more than that, you will never get to the project b/c this one will become "the project" !!! Sweet truck, I like the CC 4x4"s.

Small lift would look great on your truck.

I'd go the other way.....a 2" shackle to level it out and a set of nice wheels and tires. Mines a 2wd, but believe it or not, it's got a 2" shackle on the back and still sits up higher than the front. The towing package must include another spring, as my friends 4.8 has a smaller spring pack than mine. ???? Here is a pic.

Lift the front. Then add some bags to the rear since it will want to sag more without the unloaded rake
