I’ve noticed a few trucks on here with lifts pulling goose neck trailers. I have a 6” lift on my truck wanted to be able to pull a 52’ goose neck, but thought I would have to modify the trailer. Any one tried this and did you modify your trailer???

I have heard of some fliping the axle on the trailer to lift, but I have no experience doing it nor do i know how much lift you get.

enclosed trailer?

I really wouldn't tow that big of a trailer with that tall of a lift. The truck will pull it, but IMHO you will have some major stability issues. I pulled a 29' tag enclosed sled trailer (about 9K) with a lifted cummins this weekend, it was all over the place, the lift made it very unstable.
