: Lift kit and a slide in camper? stvky5 03-08-2006, 03:47 PM I have a slide in camper and want to know if there is any one out there with a 4 inch lift kit, in the same situation. My question is, Is it safe and is it a pain in the but, or should i just keep the stock height? I am looking at the Tuff Country kit. okeehandyman 03-08-2006, 07:15 PM Just a thought, I would think that you would have to be a real thrill seeker to enjoy the ride and handling after raising your center of gravity and adding the weight of a T/C on the truck. I have a 2500HD D/A ext cab long box truck. I carry a Lance 915 and although I've added Firestone air bags and now Rickson 19.5 wheels and Michelen XDE tires, I still notice the weight when in the mountains. I would try it with a stock height first. stvky5 03-08-2006, 08:26 PM I have been hauling it for a few years now run 33's right now and I have seen a few lifted trucks running around with slide ins, but i am concerned about the height. ockgator 03-08-2006, 09:18 PM with 4" rancho kit and 35" tires my truck is 82" tall (6' 10") add slide in and you'll be close to 10-11' tophog 03-08-2006, 11:01 PM http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/garage.php?do=view&g=1162 My brothers. 6" lift, Artic Fox camper and pulls 24' enclosed car trailer. stvky5 03-09-2006, 02:00 PM http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/garage.php?do=view&g=1162 My brothers. 6" lift, Artic Fox camper and pulls 24' enclosed car trailer. That is a nice set-up. Do you have to watch out for enbankments? tophog 03-09-2006, 02:28 PM The truck/camper setup is my brothers and he's only used it a few times thus far. He's pushing the capacity limits of the truck since he's got a short bed, and towing a 24' enclosed car trailer doesn't help matters. He's added an extra leave to the rear spring pack, runs air-bags, and a big-ass SuperHitch setup. I'm pretty sure he slows down pretty good for sharp corners :) I'm not sure what his overall height is but he's pretty tall. WSUCowboy here on the forum has a similar setup (6" lift with camper, etc.). stvky5 03-09-2006, 04:50 PM The truck/camper setup is my brothers and he's only used it a few times thus far.

WSUCowboy here on the forum has a similar setup (6" lift with camper, etc.). I am sitting at 3190 for my slide in, I also have a short bed. I am rated for 3193. I have a whole 3 pounds left. I also run air bags, but am mostly concerned about pulling in some where and tipping over side ways, because slide in's put alot of weight up high, especially when lifted. MadMaxx 03-09-2006, 05:14 PM i would suggest a rear swaybar stvky5 03-09-2006, 05:20 PM i would suggest a rear swaybar I have one. btfarm 03-09-2006, 07:27 PM i am concerned about the height. Guess I would be too... stvky5 03-10-2006, 07:44 PM Guess I would be too... Thanks for your input:blahblah: | ||
