Anyone tow large trailers with their Blazers/Jimmys?

This topic was mentioned on the gear ratio thread so I thought I would start a new thread .
I just sold my street rod in order to build a Blazer, and the main reason was to be able to tow a trailer when my Son and I go to shows. I towed a Coleman Switchback pop-up trailer as well as a teardrop trailer behind my street rod for years, but now that my Son is taller than me we wanted something larger and more comfortable.
I realize the Blazer is not the ideal tow vehicle because of it's short wheelbase, so I figured I'd ask the members here what their thought on the subject was.
I currently own a 27 foot travel trailer which has a dry weight of 4000 lbs, so realistically I'd be towing around 5000lbs loaded.
Power wont be the issue, but concerned about the handling. I will be using a load distributing hitch as well as an anti-sway bar.
Thanks, Dan

BTW, here's the car and trailer that I sold.
