Good Morning, First off let me clarify by stating i am not looking for anyone to tell me what to do or what not to do. I know this will be a touchy subject with risks but its an honest question.......

Jeremy......I would make sure your tow bar is up to snuff. I had a 5000 pound tow bar pulling a 5200 pound truck for a short time, but I added 6000 pound cables. Later, I added a 2000 pound RZ to the mix and bumped the tow bar to a 10000 pound model.
At least make sure you're using cables rated at 6000 or better.
I would second going overkill on anything you can if you don't already have the towing hardware. You could even pay a shop to beef up your hitch and frame some if you need extra peace of mind.
As just about everyone else said, make sure you have a good braking system.
