i have owned 4 trucks in 7 years and lifted everyone of them just to sell them becuase i lifted it. so i decided to get smart and i bought a 06 chevy diesel truck 2500 with the thought of never lifting again and having a motor to last forever. well i can't handle being so little so i have so questions. i want to be able to tow a 5th wheel 28-30 ft. toy hualer and not rub with tires of 37". is it possible? if so what lift and size and why? also what is your experience with it. i don't want to lift if it will wreak this truck i plan on keeping this truck for 10 years and want no steering problems. thsnks in advance -james

The main reason I only put a 4" is because I do haul and I wanted the truck to be functional. I'm running 35" and that is as big as I want to go. My trailer has the sub-frame and the trailer still doesn't sit level with the 35's...but it's close. My trailer height is at 13' 4" so raising the trailer wouldn't make any since. Plus for hauling purposes the bigger the tire the worse the mileage. I lost 4 miles per gal going from 265's
