Default 2008 mega cab 4x4 1500 with 4.10?

OK I love to have the CTD...but also want the lifetime warranty...and the extra 10k. (The last truck I bought was in 1986 and still drive it...Toyota 4x4 turbo)
I have to order a truck since Dodge hasnt stepped up yet and put side airbags in all auto (mandated in 2009)
I was going to order it also with a 4.10 rearend for more power...I plan on putting bigger tires (305?) so with that the ratio goes back down...
Currently I only tow a 10 ft utility trailer with bikes or 2 round bales (@2,000 lbs) so max is only 3k...but I have 3 horses and maybe will buy a toy hauler.

Any input ?

any input on the ordering process? The only thing I am worried about is the incentives at deliver time.
I get about 10k off the msrp with a affiliate discount so thats good but would hate to loose the 6k on rebates ans with kids I want the side airbags.
Thanks.

i bought my truck through the affiliates program, i also recieved ALL of the factory incentives at the time i ordered. plan on 7 - 10 weeks to recieve the truck, mine was 8 weeks and 4 days. if you ask my opinion the CTD is the cats a**, i love it. 100000 mile warranty engine, 175000 mile warranty on the 6 speed auto. the first valve adjustments are scheduled at 150000 miles, and they recommend overhaul at 500000. check the posts in the CTD section on when to stop looking for a CTD, and people say no problem buying them used with over 200000 miles. read the fine print on the lifetime warranty, if i am not mistaken it only covers the internal parts that never break anyway.
