35s AND TOWING

I have a 2001 F-250 with the 7.3L PSD. I want to go with a 4" superlift with 35 nittos on 16X10 weld super singles. My question is will I notice a huge power loss from my stock tires. The reason this is a concern is because I tow boats frequently, and about once every 2 months around 10,000LBS. I have seen people with larger tires than 35s towing big trailers just want to know how the truck performs.

Thanks for any help

I have had no problems towing my fiver. I weigh in at about 22,000 pounds when loaded up for a trip to the dunes. But I also have banks exhaust and a microtuner.

I have 35's and stock 3.73 and mine tows fine as well. I have the Predator, and some other goodies, so that's compensates a bit I'm sure for the taller tire.
