You have the rear of your 4x2 lowered 2"s right?

How low does it get towing?

How does the truck tow with 17's on it?

 

He needs airshocks or bags back there from what I've seen. It sits a little low in the back. As far as 17's and towing, I've towed with s the stock 16's, 17's and 18's. As long as you have at least 5" of sidewall height, it will be fine and barely noticable on ride roughness.

 

Did he have the car positioned perfectly on the trailer, having the car too far forward when we towed with a Lightning had the rear sagging a lot.

I have leafs in back, so I would need airshocks i guess?

 

The ride is just fine, but since my rear is lowered 2" it sits about 2" too low back there with the car hooked up. The truck sits perfectly level with nothing hooked up, and even the empty trailer brings it down a bit.

I'll probably just do the air shocks like Greg has. Its mostly a cosmetic issue though, the ride is very smooth and no drama.

For the record, bags are better. The only reason I like air shocks are they are $70 and bags are $260+/-. The Gabrial airshocks come with a lifetime warranty at Autozone. Yes I have blown them before and am on my third set. The first was destroyed be me and me only. The second set blew a seal on one of them. But since they only take 20 min to change, I chose the cheap route.

 

Easy to mount airbags with leaf spring truck?

I want my truck level, the rear has a 2" rake to it.

 

Air Lift is a company that makes add on bag kits for trucks. Impressive stuff, but a little more $$$. Contact them and tell them your set up, tey have a kit or will put on together for you. They even hve a kit for my 4" drop.

 

How about getting a weight distributing hitch?
