Lift Kit??
I just picked up my new 07 5.9 4x4 4dr LWB!!! I love it! I pull a 5th wheel... but I would like to lift it a little. Does anyone have any suggestions on a good kit (prob. a 3"). I dont want it to change the ride or make it rough.. Thanx

you can just put on a 2" leveling kit and fit some 35" tires on there.

keep in mind some people flip the axles on the trailer to give it a bit of a lift. That does raise the center of gravity and change the way the trailer tows but its an option if the trailer isnt too big or heavy.

There's a guy here on my base with a quad cab shortbed with a 6" lift and 37's and his 5th wheel was no problem. I thinks his is adjusted all the way up, and it sits nice and level.

Really? Mine is a long wheel base, I dont know how much that has to do w/ it. I went and did some measuring...... as it is now, the tailgate sits at 57 1/2" and that is stock. Do you think you find out some measurements from that guy? If you could that would be great!!
