DRW vs. 4x4

DRW vs. 4x4
OK guys and gals, even though this has surely been discussed here before, I have a question. My boss is claiming that his DRW can out pull my 4x4. We aren't kids but rather educated adults ages 47 (me) and 62. I'm looking for factual information and maybe a lesson in Dodge diesel evolution.
My truck: 99 Dodge 4x4 2500 short bed quad cab 5.9 with Banks 4" exhaust only (not turbo), aftermarket lift pump, new VP44, unknown injectors, Edge juice w/attitude, newly rebuilt auto trany, open rear end, 285x75 A/T (pretty agressive for A/Ts), and K&N.
His truck: 07 Dodge DRW 2WD 3500 6.7 mega cab, stock with all the factory options and street tread.
The idea is to hook them up from the receiver hitches on a level swept concrete pad. My hitch sits about 6" higher than his. Let's hear all the opinions and most of all facts about who would "win" a pull-off. If there's a video, that would be great.

He's already light in the rear because he's a truck. The fact your hitch is 6" higher than his will take even more weight off his wheels when the strap tightens, while increasing the load on your rears. If you use a fairly short strap, I'd be almost willing to bet you could pull him in 2wd... if you had a locking differential. Does he have the anti-slip rear diff? Either way, I'd have to say you've got him with your 4wd.
