Towing with lifted truck

We have trees here in the NW, and OP is in this area. Most of the lifted trucks here are freeway queens.

What good is a lifted dually?

I can actually think of many uses other than towing for a dually, especially one that has better ground clearance.

Some of the back area hunting I used to do with my old SRW pickups are now off limits to me because my dually just sits too low to get into those spots.

Shoot, a properly lifted dually would get me back into those areas again. I am not talking jeep trails here, but areas in the northern Great Plains where trees are not the problem but rocks, gullies and some ravines (small) are obstacles that a vehicle with clearance can properly navigate.

Besides, as far as lifted vehicles go, a 4 inch lift is almost at beginners stage. I know there are lifts now in the 2 inch range, but at one time 4 inches was the lowest available.

Leave the truck lifted.

Just get one of these:

So put it back to stock and go camping. Did you get the OEM wheel. What good is a lifted dually? Do you want to RV or look cool? Chris

4WD with 275/70/18E tires. This adds about 2 additional inches.

Is it 2WD? I have a stock 01 Ram 2500 4X4 and the back of the bed is 59" off the ground, and I have 6" clearance.
