....I will be towing a ~3,500 lb camper 7-10 times over the summer and would think the triple rate springs would serve my purposes better... Thoughts?...

...get a good weight distribution hit(ch) and some type of rear extended bump. Timbrens would work or you could do hydronic or air bumps and adjust them accordingly...
I would ditto the response above. Just getting my JTRD tomorrow and starting the build, targeting similar activities... 3500lb trailer, kayak rack or hardtop, etc. The local 4x4 shop I'm working with in Western Montana recommended Timbrens might be a good option for me as well. Also in the manual Jeep recommends weight distribution hitches with anything this heavy.
I'm going to take this stepwise:
1) Measure stock clearance
2) Add 35's and measure again
3) Add the weight... including kayaks and trailer... and measure again.
Then based on that figure out what size lift, and potential other suspension mods will be optimal to get me back to good daily driving and max loading.
