Towing with 4" lift and 35s???

My buddy has a 2005 2500 and wants to lift is small like 4" for the stance and put some 35s on it. My question is we are going to get a 33' Donzi boat on a triple axle trailer so will there be any problems towing this kind of load with the lift?

I have a 5" lift and run 35" Toyo's and tow all the time with this setup. Just got back from a 4000 mile trip with my 10,000lb trailer.

Dude I tow a 4 horse gooseneck trailer with living quarters in the front and have a 5" lift and 35" tires. No problems at all and this trailer loaded weighs in at a mere 16500 lbs with 2 horses.

Well I ran a 3 inch BDS lift with 35x12.50 BFG Mud Terrains at first, then went to a 6 inch BDS Long Arm kit and ran 37x12.50 Pro Comp Extreme Mud Terrains and now im running the same lift with 22.5 Alcoas and 40 inch drive tires and between all of my lift and tire combinations I have never had a problem when towing. I usually to 10,000 plus pounds anytime I hook up a trailer too. So I would have to say roll with it.
