Lifted truck tow capacity
I have a 05 screw with a 5.4 lifted on 35's with 3.73 gears. I tow a 4k lb boat all summer long with out a problem. Well now I need a camper what you guys think the tow capacity would be to run thru the mountains of tennessee?

You can likely still tow close to the factory limits for your truck as is, but the 35's are going to put extra strain on your drivetrain and tranny. You may end up running out of power for the taller gears and be stuck doing 25 mph on the steeper grades. If you'll be hauling often I would regear to 4.56s.
