Default Towing with a Lift Kit...Pics?

I want to see some pictures of what you guys who have lift kits are towing. I'm kinda curious what your set up is and what the power/mpg's are like while towing whatever it is you have with your lifts and bigger tires?

Post em' up!

^ You have a 6" lift and only 31" tires? I wonder how funny that looks...

Not from this cat. That's a nice looking shorty in tow- been looking for another one to wrench on for a few years now. Unfortunately they're not as plentiful as they used to be around here. Love those trucks.
