Ok fellas, another couple newbie questions. I was planning on putting a lift on my 2012 XLT and was just getting ready to pull the trigger. The wife and I have just recently started discussing purchasing a travel trailer in the future (sometime next spring). I have just begun researching all the info on towing since I have very little experience. I am starting to get a grasp on things and understanding all the different meanings like gvwr, gcwr, etc. My question is will a lift drastically reduce my towing abilities? I have seen people with F150's towing campers with lifts but I am interested in doing things right. If it matters I was looking at either the 6in BDS or 4in Rancho lifts.

Another question, if a lift will significantly reduce my towing capabilities would another setup work i.e. front level/rear blocks to keep rake or level/rear air bags?

Also just to clarify, I have a 2012 XLT NON-Max-Tow, but I have the ecoboost, SCREW, 4x4 offroad, and 3.73 rear end. Its just the wife and I with two dogs and we have been looking at some of the smaller TT's around the 4000 - 5000 dry weight range. Any advice you guys could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

If its done professionally, you should be just fine! Just get a drop hitch so the trailer would still be respectfully level!

Bump, anyone else...

Its the bigger tires that go with the lift that will reduce your towing capability. But it seems you are getting a fairly light trailer so bigger tires wont affect it that much
