Towing with a short wheel base

Ive never towed anything with a short wheel base truck, but as I get down to making a decision on what truck Ill be keeping I have a lot of questions bouncing around in my ol noggin.

Half ton, short wheel base, big block with turbo 400 auto. Stock coil suspension all the way around, but lowered a bit. Front and rear sway bars, maybe some helper bags if things get a tad heavy in back.

If its set up right would you feel comfortable pulling something as large as a call hauler (with car on it) or a small travel trailer?

Ive seen plenty of pictures of guys pulling with their short wheel base trucks, but I'm wondering if this was out of necessity, or hey I do this all the time.

What do you think, its a terrible idea? Or, with the right set up it there shouldn't be any problems?
