Lifted Truck Towing ??
I am going be buying a travel trailer or toy hauler. I have 2005 5.4L triton 4x4 supercrew with a 4" lift and 35" tires. I know the MAX towing weight is about 9,000 lbs and I know with my lift and tires that truly isnt my max. Eventually i will be getting a gryphon tuner with a custom tow tune, but with priorities that will come later. Need a trailer now for traveling for work. I really dont wanna spend a bunch of money beefing up tranny and drivetrain right now.
1. what would be a safe towing capacity with my set up? 5,000-6,000lbs??
2. what are some of you towing with a lifted truck?

I've got the same setup, other then a 3" level instead of the 4" kit, had to pull a jeep on a car dolly approx 4000 lbs, and my usual 800ish lbs in the bed and it did fine. But I would want electric over whatever the hell Uhall uses if I had to do it often.
Also I would definitely invest in lower gears for the diffs if your doing more then a couple 100 miles a year.
