Re: How Much is Too Much
I would do it, no further than you are going it should be okay. I've towed more than that with my truck with the same combo.

Re: How Much is Too Much
you'll be fine keep the speeds down, don't take off too fast, and give your self PLENTY of room to stop.

Re: How Much is Too Much
I agree to go for it. The truck should pull it fine but the brakes are another story. Allow plenty of stopping distance. What happened with the lugs? I had chrome steel wheels put on a 70' 1/2 ton years ago and it broke wheels studs like crazy until I found out the tire store didn't torque the nuts. Good luck.
