Ya I have seen those as well! So cool! For this trailer a ball is fine, but if I do get crazy I have a pintle hitch that clamps the hitch on to the ball.

If I ever don't have to work out of the back of it I'll definitely throw a set of 35s on it.

No it's not about dropping just your tbars, you have to drop where your lower control arms bolt and tbars and diff.

When one thing goes down, everything else has to drop down too.
That keeps your suspension in stock geometry, just lowered away from the frame.

Good idea! So many guys **** away money on cheap kits and piecing things together.
Just save up and buy the real suspension lift kit and you'll be happy you did.

lol I never said they have anything against her just trouble getting in if I jacked her up too much. I'm thinking I may go with a spindle lift, add a set of running boards and it should all be good to go.

my poor old doggy might have trouble too lol
