however, with the modifications to your truck you have reduced that limit.

Really? How so?

We really can't know. Is the lift kit homemade, or store bought? Now I don't say homemade is always bad, but it must be made in the right home. Also a lot of stuff is made to sell, not to use.
This statement applies to most things, I have no reason to think it would not apply to lift kit.

You also don't know how the lift kit did not impact payload by one single pound. This is a screen of a screenshot from Rocky Ridge if you know who they are. I'd be willing to bet they know more how a lift affects payloads and towing more than anyone on these boards, but then again it's RV.net.




I know, they say "towing capacity" and not "payload". That should be good for 6 pages of BS hair splitting foolishness lol.

Now we are to believe used car salesmen too? And the TT salesman telling you what you can tow?
But you quote a sales flyer as fact?
You make a box bigger, that box will get heavier or weaker (Maybe both). Any added weight must be subtracted from GCVWR. And weaker is kind of self defeating.
Then there is issue of tires. Look at tow specs put out by any truck manufactures. Most every tow package to increase tow capacity you will see a change in gear ratio to lower speed gears. Taller tires goes the other way.

Well, I have drove millions of miles. Over time I have learned that if you see a driver acting stupid, or a vehicle that looks unsafe, the best action is put extra distance between you and them. Give yourself more time to react when snot hit the fan.
