red
i towed 6600 with my 91 350 RCLB
I did not tow it with a drop
I did use a weight dist hitch and a class 3
It would squat the rear pretty good...
Can you do it prob....
I would say you would need helper airbags in the rear
a class 3 or 4 hitch and a weight dist hitch
and prob a dif tongue and turn it upside down
so the trailer sits level.

I know fast4.8 tows a camper with a 2/4 - he uses air shocks.

I would prob use air bags - my .o2 - hope it helps red
