But not too far rear, because that can cause uncontrollable trailer sway.

I tow with the Bilstein 5100s, and it is a great improvement over the stock UNLTD Sport shocks. I am changing over to Teraflex 3" coil springs which I am assuming will improve the towing ability even more. I say assume because people have told me they have a higher spring rate than the stock springs, but I have not had independent confirmation from TF.
