Do I want to spend $1600 to modify it so that I can pull it with this truck and likely kill any remaining resale value that is left in the trailer?
Could you pull a trailer that is been raised around 10 inches from stock with your truck?
I could also build a custom flatbed that would fix the problem.
2004.5 Dodge 3500 - 5.9 Cummins - 6 speed manual - Aprox 150k miles.
That fiver has limited resale value anyway and an modern pickup will have at least some height issue, so I say either add a sub-frame and longer steps or put a flatbed on the truck. Which ever you like best.
