Hey Mudder-
Given you payload and truck setup, I would look at a smaller trailer, unless you can also jump to a 2500. Those rigs are probably too much for your truck purely from a weight perspective. I wouldn't worry about length (well, except for backing into smaller spots, haha), a good WDH will handle any length trailer, but those weights will be too much.

I recently upgraded trucks purely for a weight perspective; I could tow my 29BHS at 65-70 mph and get passed by a semi cruising 80 and handle the wheel with a pinkie finger- my hitch was also tuned in perfectly. But I was very close on my weights and kids are only growing.
