Funny you should ask about that. I just wrote a blog about that very thing. If I can tow my rig, you will be just fine with the solution we have for towing...

The HD Nationals are intended for someone who runs the truck with at least 500LBS in the bed at all times. If your going stage III, I would get the standard springs and RPG offers for a 4'' bump you can swap out when towing a heavy load. I think its an additional 7hundy.

Do you have a Raptor or a standard f-150? Remember stage 4 only covers the rear so you would still have to buy the 3.0's up front.

2 different animals man, stage 3 has no shocks, stage 4 has 3.0 shocks which is probably overkill. I am running a Stage 3 with Fox 2.5 Coilovers in the front and Raptor shocks in the rear...
