Towing a goose neck trailer with a lift?
I tow a 24 foot GN trailer and was thinking about a lift kit but I don't know how it would be. Any experience would be great, what size and what brand do you guys have? I think I would probably lean toward a 4" because I will probably stay with a 35" tire and 37's would probably look better with 6 inches. What do you think?

Hi Big Horn,
I run a KORE lift w/35" tires and tow a 25' GN regularly. I have only had a slight rub on the bed rail at the very most rear corner once which was completely my fault and the slope/drop off was overly steep. Really no worries with a mild lift IMO.

I was a little worried about the clearance but all the towing I have done I have only had to back down one hill that was questionable. I like the lifted look but I think I would have to keep it around 4". how big is your kore lift?

I forget the exact numbers, but it is not a huge lift (KORE Race kit). For reference (in case your GN may have different specs), I am pulling a PJ trailer.
In my case, the "hill" is a portion of our property that we built up a pad to have parties on. After a get together, I pulled off the pad (slope is probably a bit greater than 3 to 1 where I pulled off) and was not paying attention. Had I been paying attention, it would not have happened - operator error all the way IMO and should not be a concern...

It is no harder than a stock truck.
