Default More lift or not?

I am kicking around the idea of adding a few more inches of lift to my truck.

It currently has an 8" FabTech lift with an additional 2 inches in the rear via F-350 blocks.
As you can see in the pic below, it sits a little jacked up (the rear is visibly higher than the front).

FabTech has 3.5 inch hanger extensions that I can put on the front that would give me plenty of clearance for 40's, vice the 37's I currently have on it.

My biggest concern is towing.
It is already a challenge to tow with it this high, I fear that making it even higher my basically disable my tow ability.

With my 14" drop hitch, trailers still tend to sit low in the rear.
Going from 37's to 40's is just going to make it that much worse.

So what to do..... lift it more, or stay where it is and actually go back to the F-250 blocks (this will drop the tail about 2 inches)?
