Lift
So what would be the best way to get the rear end of my class c higher off the ground? I like to travel off road and done want the back end dragging when going over rougher roads. Thank you

I did this on our Class C years ago to provide more clearance when we occasionally go on dirt/gravel backroads. Our Class C's chassis is the Ford E450, so it has plenty of extra fender tire well room for tires that our larger in diameter than what came stock on it.
pnichols, has “nailed it”! The chassis/frame/body are generally the contact points on irregular terrain.....the only way to address all of these is taller tires!
Awaiting my newish ( on unit when we purchased) tires to wear out or “date expire”.....will be going taller, for sure! memtb
Yep ... taller tires provide more clearance for everything in one swoop ... a very simple way to do it ... assuming wheel wells provide the clearance and assuming that the front suspension allows it with no rubbing on full lock turning! Another plus in raising ground clearance this way is that it keeps raising of the vehicle's center of gravity to a minimum - which is always good for several reasons.
