Is there any downside to 6112 fronts if towing? I've been debating forever between the 5100's and 6112's for the exact reasons you describe. But have not been able to find any info on 6112's and towing an RV. I've got an old 23' Airstream, about 4500lb in weight, that I'd like to tow on long trips for summer vacations. Also, what springs did you recommend to run with 6112 to keep stock height or just slightly lift an inch?

My advice is get the 6112 fronts if you can spend a little more. 5100's for me were awful on small bump compliance daily driving. On big stuff like speed bumps they blew right through the travel. I think this was all because of digressive valving but you'll find plenty of posts on the topic. On the other hand the 6112 gets glowing reviews.
My .02 since I'm now on rev 4 of lift kits and wish I would've skipped the early revisions. I currently have Fox but I think 6112 is a great shock.
FJ springs added zero lift for me but they do ride nice on stock shocks
