Will the Airstream have enough ground clearance to match the mods to the TV?
Drops can be done with either, but are limited. Likely because of the way that they stop sway, puts a LOT of stress on the reciever.. Gotta keep the drop within reason for this.
Another way to address the issue is to raise the TT. But I have never seen a lifted Airstream. I have no idea of how the axles are setup on them and if this is a realistic option on them.
Since the OP has been looking at lifted GMs, I can make some fairly educated guessses on hitch height as I own a GM Dually. My TT has been raised 3.5" over stock, And I need about 3-4" of drop. (can't remember which holes its in without going to look)
Since he is looking at a 2" lift and 35" tires, he would need a drop of 9 or 10 inches to tow my lifted TT. My stock height TT would need 12.5 to 13.5" to be towed by this truck... And I am just about positive that Airstreams sit lower than my TT..
As for the other brand trucks, I doubt that the hitch heights vary enought to make a big difference.
Now go with a standard WD hich or the EQUALIZER, and longer drops are possible. I would steer away from a DC in this case because of the low ground clearance the bars frequently require for proper setup
