Well I agree that the towing experience will be better with a 3500 DRW, the difference between a 2500 and 3500 SRW is minimal. The issue most overlook is that the 5er needs to ride as smooth as the TV! you want a smoothest ride possible 5er, level, tires balanced, and good working shocks. You also need decent pin weight, the TV also needs very good shocks.
I pulled/carried a 12,500# 5er with a 2,700# pin on a 2001 Ram 2500 for many years and smooth doing just that TV was 1,700# over GVWR, and didn't have or need air bags.
