So, it looks like the General Consensus (SIR!) is that a 2WD with a Torsen rear carrier will be the best overall answer (simple, efficient, low maintenance, positive 2WD), as we are not trail-crawling enthusiasts, and plan on staying out of the snow and ice.

Does this sound good considering the following rig?

Dodge 2500 Cummins 12V ext cab, bed replaced with skirted flatbed, low profile 5th wheel hitch.
Not planning on lowering, as there will be boondocking and really bad roads in the future, but will be belly-panning and otherwise enhancing the truck.
32ft. ultralight (3-4K lb.) streamliner trailer, built to the truck for aero.

One other question for those who have done this - if we aren't carrying spare off-road specific rear wheels, would cable-type chains be a good substitute in time of need?
