Plus I don't really want to do a flex plate to fly wheel swap, my rotating assembly is machine shop balanced.

I know of the gearvender over drive units but at $2k its way out of my price range.
Can you find the towing spec for your year Sub/drivetrain? Along with front and rear axle ratings I think we can set a reasonable number for you to work with (trailer weight). Any truck ought to be set up to a standard, IMO, one that one can live with as the work capacity of a truck is easily as important as its operational costs. The balance of the two is the definition of what a truck is, again IMO. Altitude de-rate is part of that for a truck meant to be economical.
