what would make a good allaround use

I have a 2005 dodge ram 2500 4x4 quad cab cummins 6spd. I currently have the afe stage II intake rokk sensor, straight piped and decatted, and the smarty box. I am wanting to set my truck up to get good mileage, tow fairly heavy loads and go on long trips and last for a long time. Is the smarty the right choice or should I sell it and get like a van aaken or something. I wouldnt mind getting a little better turbo or upgrading my clutch but I really just want to keep the truck kinda mild yet have some *** behind it. I am not looking to make it the fastest , most sled pullingest truck around, just a good all around everyday truck with a little extra. What would you suggest??

I would stick with the SMARTY. Do you have gauges? Towing heavy level 1 is safe, even 3 maybe ok if monitor with gauges.

I need to get gauges... I have started to slip my clutch a bit with the smarty on its high setting and running around having fun messing with other trucks and blowing smoke have kinda phased off and lost the fun. Now I just want it to be good allaround and reliable

I have been running mine on level 5 with no issues so far, even with the stock clutch. But I haven't towed heavy yet with that setting.
