So my buddy wants to lower his extended cab NNBS 2wd. But he still needs to tow his travel trailer a couple of times a year. I told him the lowest I'd recommend was pulling the blocks and 2" shackles. In the front there are many options so thats not what I'm concerned about.

He really wants a 3/5 drop.

With that heavy IMO flip kits and drop leafs are out of the question.

Whats ya'lls thoughts?

 

3/5 with helper bags should get the job done. How heavy is the camper? Goose neck or pull behind?

 

bumper pull. probably around 6k.

But how should he achieve the 5" in the rear?

 

Flip kit and helpers IMO... Pulled about 15K like this personally more than once.

 

Its a flip kit with shackle relocators and 2" drop shackles raise it to 5"

 

I towed my other truck a couple of weeks back. I have a 2/4 or 2/5 drop rear is a flip kit with lift hangers and no overload leafs. It all depends on the tongue weight if the trailer.

 

cool thanks. I'll let him know about the helpers. I read up on them, sounds like they can support about 2000lbs. The tongue weight shouldn't be anywhere near that, especialy since he has a weight distribution hitch.
