Lifted trucks & a Goos Neck ?

Hello everyone, this is my first post but I have been looking at this forum for a while and just decided to join and I have a few questions. I am wanting to lift my new Mega Cab but I am afraid I will not be able to pull a goos neck , I want to run the 4.5 Fabtch kit with 35 Toyos on 20 x 10 XD Diesels, do you think this setup will work ? I am unable to flip the axles on the trailers because I will not be the only one pulling them. If you have any pictures or suggestions please let me no.

Thanks

Lucas

A buddy had a SuperPuty with 20"s of lift 49" Iroks and pulled goose-neck trailors with his rear BUMPER hitch. I am not saying that was safe I just thought you guys would find that funny.

In all seriousness we have pulled goose-necks with a truck that had a 6" lift and 37s, all you really need to do is measure, and have a trailor with an adjustable neck.

I just sold a 99 F-350 with 49,s and I could not imagine pulling my goos neck on my bumper hitch My trailers do have an adjustable hitch so maybe that will work.

Thanks

Highly lifted trucks are worthless for towing. You lose alot of torque with larger tires, also payload capacity. Just my 2 cents worth

You can see what lift and tires I am running in the sig. I haul goosenecks no problem at all. Have hauled Hay, cattle, tractors, etc... no problems to report. Althought you do have to watch out when offroad taht your gooseneck dosen't come in contact with the bed sides, but it is not to bad at all, I have never had it contact the bed since the lift....but I have twice BEFORE I lifted it...

I have a 5" Rough Country lift on 37" nittos, 4" blocks in rear, pull goosenecks all the time on the highway, I have a custom made 26' gooseneck that has an extended neck for my truck that I can pull off road.
