Ok so i had to post pics, only because its kind of anoying alwys hearing lifted duallys are worthless. I tow with mine all the time 2 to 3 times a week from heavy to light. I finaly took the time to post some pics. She handles great no problems tho the trailer tires did get a little warm on me(tanker weighs 15K).

If anyone else has any pics towing with there lifted trucks lets see em!!!!










By the way i got the tanker for free and traded the tanker for the bobbed deuce plus 1500 wow what a blessing hu shes a multi fuel gas or diesel or bio or whatever i love it mite get some 53s and a 15 inch lift

 

I tow my boat with mine about 11,000 pounds going down the road, it looks like you get the same squat I get, thought about getting some airbags but not really sure if it's worth the money!! Nice deuce by the way and if you know anyone looking I've got 3 for sale!!

 

theres a forum called steel soldiers go there they have a clasified section its a deuce comunity tons of contacts its worht a shot

and yea i had a little more tonge weight than i wanted but i just filled my 100 gallons of fuel so that didnt help

 

I'm on steel soldiers too...I just relisted my add there thanks....

 

thats cool thats how i found this guy richard to trade me grate guy to .how do you like those alcoas you got a stock tranny auto or manual ??

 

I got nothing against lifted dually's, LOWERED dually's is what makes me scratch my head...

 

i said that to till i saw this guy in miami slammed on 22.5s towing a 4 car wedge hauler thing looked nasty and he towes with it for a living black truck black wheels but i do see your point

 

Tranny is a stock nv4500 I prefer a manual,and the alcoas are great and get me lots of questions and blank stares.........

 

If you can live with that squatting, more power to ya. Personally, I can't. I wont even put a leveling kit on my truck for that reason. I think a lot of people talk down about lifted duallies because of the hitch height/bed height. I know years ago my dad wouldnt buy a 4x4 dually when he got his 96 because the bed was too high for the primary purpose of the truck which is to tow a 38' 5th wheel camper.

 

yea i hear ya on bed height its a pain but im 26 ill enjoy it while i can. I am in and out allot. And i dont like the fact that i cant hual a goose or a 5th wheel but oh well i love it truck alwyas get comments even been vidio taped driving down the road more than once.

I do wish i had a manual tho any one want to trade

 

Nothing a set of air bags won't cure, I hate the lower front end myself and will be leveling it soon as the 35s get here.

 

There's an easier fix. Think of it as a raised back end instead of a lowered front end. lol.

Another issuse i have with a lot of leveling kits is that they make the front end higher than the back. My friend's cousin has a 1500 that is like that and it looks dumb. It reminds me of the hydraulics guys that raise their front ends to be able to turn their wheels but leave the back end squatted to the ground. I'd rather be hauling a**, not dragging a**.

 

They raise the rear for a reason, and the reason is so that a load (like pictured above) will level the truck.

That truck might be safe for driving around town, but you wouldn't want to tow cross-country like that. HWY 80 at 70 mph and a wind storm would be treacherous with that rocket ship.

 

Regardless, my truck's suspension is bone stock, it still squats when I'm loaded and hooked up to the trailer, so maybe I should jack up the rear even more eh, like 3 more inches¿?

 

Im with Dan K on this one. There's a reason the truck is 2" higher in the back. However, its quite obvious that a lot of people aren't concerned with towing....hence the 35-37 inch tires. Even as well rounded as you can be with a diesel truck, you cant have your cake and eat it to.....a show stopper at the drag strip thats lifted 8 inches with 40 inch tires and tow friendly thats just as safe as the day it was built with 20mpg fuel economy.
