One other consideration is the torque load on the driveshaft and ujoints. For a given towed weight on a given incline, the torque the ujoints must support to move the load is much less with a 4.00 axle than a 2.00. I once saw a tractor trailer blow upp its u joints trying to pull a load from a stop going uphill....it wasnt pretty.
