Default 5 inch long arm lift

Let's see those duallys with the 5 inch long arm lift and what size tires your running. Looking for ideas for a set up that can still tow good

Hhhmmm.... Not sure, but, I don't think "5" lift" and "good for towing" go together very well.... That much lift is going to give the trailer a LOT of power over the truck.... maybe too much.

I agree with this. Towing with a lifted truck makes it challenging to keep the trailer stable. Plus the fact of modifying your trucks suspension impacts your original tow ratings (negatively)

Clearly you guys don't drive on interstates in the west over mountain passes!

Every cool young dood has a massive lift on his diesel ram doolly with 37s stuffed under the fender! Braaaaaaap
