Magnaflow 3" SISO catback, or any other system that has been shown to maintain (or even bolster) low-end torque by preserving exhaust gas velocity.
In fact, in this regard, the STOCK exhaust does a very credible job.
So - perhaps use the funds toward the 1st bang-for-buck mod - a custom tuner, which will significantly enhance your towing capability.
Gearing can be a huge help too, but on a 4x4, roughly 3x the cost of a tuner....

I haven't seen any dyno plots proving any exhaust gives more torque v.s stock under 3000rpm except Magnaflow.
For towing, the best performance gain will come from shorter gears, even for a 4x4. A complete custom Xcal tune, intake and exhaust for $1200 won't beat it. Close, and there are other benefits for non towing. If you have a 2wd truck, best $500 ever spent, rear gear.
