Towing w/stock clutch and Smarty?
I am planning on buying a good clutch some time soon, but it is really not in the budget right now. So in the meantime, I tow around 7000-8000lbs, what setting do you guys run to keep your stock clutch happy?

I'd probably keep it on Level 3 if you are going to pull consistently with the Smarty. Don't slip the clutch and you should be fine.

I keep mine on level 5 but seeing your truck having 3.73's and 315 tires I would keep it at level 3.
