Shocks and BL for towing?

Just put new 265/75/16 Maxxis Bighorns on my 02' and love em. I'm looking to add a 1"-2" body lift as well as new shocks that will be stiff enough for towing of a 4000lb boat. Any recommendations on shocks and body lifts other than the 4crawler since he seems to be on vacation till April?

Thanks.

Body lift wont affect towing and shocks wont make much difference. The rear will need airbags or helper springs depending on the tongue weight.

Search for "air shocks" or "MA700"

Air shocks work great for firming up the rear for extra loads.

A body lift wont do anything.
