I drive an 07 Lariat with a tow package. In the last week I've been towing my 32 foot trailer all over Utah. I've done some off roading along the way and my wife said those 9 magic words every man longs to hear..."why don't we have a lift on this truck?"
Now it has me wondering. What lift is the best lift for off roading if you have to be able to tow as well?
Like I said, my trailer is 32 foot and about as heavy as the truck handles, so I wanted to get your guys' take. Let's hear it
How big of a lift are you looking to do? Do you have a budget in mind?
We sell complete off road suspension but there are companies that sell " Lift Kits " and you add a coilover to the set up and it'll be enough.
In the end, it'll come down to how much you are looking to spend. There are inexpensive options that will give you the Lift and there are more expensive options that will give you the lift plus the performance.
The prerunner kit looks cool. How much would that run? I was expecting to pay around 2k. How many inches are those tires? I am just looking to gain some clearance offroading without losing my ability to tow my trailer. I was thinking maybe a 4 inch lift.

For $2K, that will be more in the lift kit price range.
Our Prerunner kit with Coilovers will run you into the $5500 range.
I would look into something like BDS if you are looking to do a 4" lift.
Brother you read my mind. No way I could go for something so spendy. I'll have to see what I can find in my price range. Still don't know what lifts are better than anything else for towing though...
Just my opinion, but for towing, I would avoid lift blocks and either find an add-a-leaf or replacement leaf pack that will give you lift and maintain carrying capacity. If you do lift blocks, you might want to consider traction bars if you tow heavy loads.

Off road suspension is more than just lift spacers and cross members.
It's not for everyone as well! That was the reason I asked if he was looking for an actual " lift kit " or off road kit. 2 completely different setups.
A lot more is involved especially when you are replacing your upper and lower arms. You can also save some $$ by going with a 2.5 coilover ( I quoted him my 3.0 coilover ).
