couple of ?'s
couple of ?'s
i have a 6" lift with 36" tires and i was wondering is my truck to tall to tow a 5th wheel? i just sold my 24 ft toy hauler and i want to get a bigger one. do they make 5th wheels tall enough for lifted trucks? any info will be great thanks!!
You will certainly need custom suspension on any 5ver to accomadate the height of your truck........like it has already been mentioned, stock 2nd and 3rd gen 4x4's already have height issues with some 5ver's.......depending on the amount of lift added to the trailer, that would make for one tall 5ver!
There certainly are issues with pulling a 5vr with a 4X4. My truck is stock suspension with 285 tires (about the same as 33's). My trailer has been raised to the max without flipping the axles, and hitch at max. I got into the bedrails of my truck twice during this past deer season. Road was terrible, Loggers. No major damage, paint transfer mainly. trailer has a couple of dents around hitch. I doubt you could do it with a 6" lift and 36's.

Might want to check out http://www.rv.net/ they have a ton of camper Q&A. But that seems a little unrealistic with a 6" lift.
Good luck on the new truck......

Chipper, Are you talkin a actual 5th wheel camper trailer? or a gooseneck enclosed or flatbed? there is a couple trailer builders down here in my neck of the woods that have built gooseneck trailers with the necks taller. tall enough to go over service bodys with plenty of room to spare! if you had something like that, and shorten the tube on the gooseneck, then why wouldn't that work?
