Towing my T/R

Let me say hi to everyone 1st. I'm a lurker I've been reading the posts for some time and now I have a few questions. Yes I have done a search and I have not found the info to my particular problem. I have a "00" Toco TRD and a "84" Pickup. I want to tow the "84" to the trail head. Would you flat tow or dolly it? The road to the trail head is ROUGH and I'll need to lift the "00" to fit 33"s The rear springs are shot and I am going to up grade and lift front and back to add ground and tire clearence but I want the same road handeling performance. I'm willing to change gears but not wheels. I like the stock 15x6 rims. Given that how would you lift the Toco and what tires would you use to best tow the "84" and is there a dolly that has higher ground clearence than the ones you normaly see. Thanks in advance for the help. I'm counting on all your experence as a group to help me come up with the best posable solution with out the trial and error that I would go through to get it right.

Thanks
Joey

Rough road...I would flat tow.

The SEARCH function is great. Check it out. Many threads on tires. Many threads on towing.

If you put 33's on the Taco you will loose a lot of you're towing power.
