Default Opinions on RC Lift or Bilsteins with Body Lift

A little background info first.. I have a 2006 Ram 1500 Sport 4x4 with Hemi. I tow a 23ft boat on a dual axle trailer (about 5000lbs loaded) about once a week spring-fall. I'm thinking that towing this with a 6 inch lift would not be enjoyable so I am looking for lift options under 6 inch. I also use 4x4 several times in the winter and I don't want this death wobble that I hear of. My shocks are shot and my tires are getting there so I need to make some moves here. I am planning to get 35 inch tires and I want some lift to go with it. Here are some options that I am considering, please let me know if you have any options to add or opinions on which way I should go.

Bilstein 5100 2 inch level - http://www.bilsteinus.com/products/l...djustable.html
Bilstein 5100 2inch level with 3in PA body lift - http://www.summitracing.com/parts/PRA-60173/
Rough Country 4 inch Suspension Lift - http://www.roughcountry.com/suspensi...m_06-08_4.html
IFS 4 inch Suspension Lift - http://zoneoffroad.com/product?ki=251&gr=-1
KORE Adjustable Suspension Lift (0-3.5in) - http://www.koreraceshop.com/dodge-ra...s-09-10-2.aspx

Please correct me if I am wrong but it looks like the suspension lift kits do not come with front shocks so I think I would have to order the front bilsteins anyway.

If your worried about a wobble or rough ride stay away from body lifts IMO.
IFS 4 inch sounds good you would clear 3 more inches or so
