Here's question, how much pedal does it take to get to 2400 RPM when towing your heaviest load. The 6.8 will be happiest at 2800, but you don't want to struggle to get there. I doubt you would ever tow that fast, but you want your rig to able work easiest in that range (2200-2600). Even if you don't tow all the time, you want your rig to be at optimum when towing. As someone said to me once "Don't Fear the Gear". I say if you spend the bucks to rebuild your axle do it once and go to 4.56.

how much pedal, like none... initial launch maybe press more because i am impatient when towing, but once moving, about the same amount of pedal as without the trailer.

This is another question that also is skewed because i have the Cobra throttle body on it, it changes up the throttle geometry and makes the truck, a whole new truck.
