Towing w/ a lifted truck

[bartburns]

I wanted to see if anyone was pulling a travel trailer behind their lifted 250? I've been looking at a 35 foot toy hauler and I'm wondering what I can expect while headed down the highway? The trailer will weight about 10k w/ 1.3k at the tongue. I'm going to install the Reese weight redistribution w/ sway control. Are there any other suspension mods that I should consider to ensure a safe ride?

thanks in advance

air bags for sure

Is this a fifth wheel? I'm hoping so at that size.

Not enough pin weight to be a 5er. Got to be a bumper pull.

Your lift is not a problem with a bumper pull, just be sure to get a drop hitch so the trailer is level.

Still, that's big.
But like the OP said, a WD hitch with sway control is a much. Just get the drawbar that has enough drop for you, and you'll be good.

See it all the time here in California. I pull a 37' 5ther 12.5k empty doesnt sag to bad with a 4" lift and 35" tires the trailer had the axles flipped so it would ride level. My buddy pulls a 40' 5ther weekend warrior 16k empty axles flipped and he has a 8" lift with 38" we go to pismo beach all the time and vegas to watch nascar with no problem.



I would try to go 5ther with that size of trailer 35' is long as sh-t as a bumper pull. On top of that a 5ther doesnt sway half as bad.

It's a pull behind trailer. Too much lift in the truck to even back under a 5th wheel. I've got a 7inch drop hitch.

You can consider "flipping" the Axles on the trailer...I'm about to do mine that way...

Going to flip mine also, but going to make my own perches to get another inch or two at max.
