So looking forward to it dude....

I have already started practicing my merican......lol...Don't worry i will toss a few eh's in for effect. Dude you planning on a SEMA vegas apperance? Thinking i will ship the street truck to vegas do SEMA...then put it in storage down there in vegas....fly back for november ...and drive it down from vegas.

The pro will be ready to but i don't think it would do a run like that with out a tanker truck of fuel for support.

OK, I have a question.
This is just a question not... slamming your ride or anything.. but..
How can you tow anything with your truck set up like that?
My truck is not as low as that and I am constantly having issues with the trailers nose being too low on mine.
So, what can you tow with that and how. Seriously, I would like to know so I can try the same thing.

Well there is a couple of things ...

1) I can air up the system to raise it up....those pictures have the frame actually on the ground it wouldn't move like that...lol

2) A raised reversed hitch that you can raise your hitch up on

3) The tounge/hitch on my trailer is not welded in place ... it's bolted into a channel and can be raised or lowered on the trailer.....there is probaly 10" of adjustment on my trailer hitch alone...

4)...On my avalanche ( wich is lowered with 20's ) it worked out that i just took the slide out turned it upside down and put the ball on the top. That adjustment raised the ball just over 2" and was perfect.

But i understand what your talking about... the trailer tounge has to be nearly perfect or it tows like a hunk of junk and is all over the road...I learned that lesson years ago and always take the time to find the sweet spot before towing.

I flipped my receiver and got about 3-4" higher but the bee-otch is when I am sent to pick up a trailer while working and the dang thing is way the flip up in the air...
My own trailer is fine but my truck is a work truck and there are too many times I just can't or won't pull a trailer that won't pull safe... LOL
Know what I mean ???
