Question Hydralift or Ram w/Rampage?

We recently bought a 2020 Palazzo 37.4 and the TOAD is a Jeep Cherokee but really wanting to take along the Indian Chieftain and could use some advise. I have been looking at the Hydralift, which looks to fit the bill but concerned about the weight on the back axle. We did a fully loaded weigh a few months back on our last trip and according the the numbers, "should be" ok. The other option would be pull the Ram 1500 with a Rampage lift and wondering if driving would be more noticeable with the Ram with extra weight or would it be negligible? Hate to drop the money on a lift only to realize I didnt like the drive or spend the money on the Rampage, tow bar and braking system if we couldnt pull it up hills.

Any and all opinions are greatly appreciated.

I've seen a few Hydralifts usually with smaller/naked bikes and 1 with a Harley.
The Harley definitely squatted the mh.
I looked at your spec. 10k hitch, I wonder what the tongue weight is?
If the only attachment point/S for the Hydralift is the 2" reciever I would probably pass on it.

Sure wish I could have had a Rampage 15, 20 yrs ago... only dropped the back wheel of my Vmax off the ramp once .
