Does this increase the chances that it has been lightly used?
Also, do you have to un-lift it to use to tow a TT?
Thanks,

Depends on the type of lift.
A simple body lift doesn't destroy OEM parts and geometry.
If its a suspension lift beware. Some suspension lifts don't retain the OEM capacities or the new suspension parts are of poor quality to be used in a work situation.
My daughter in law has a '14 2500 GMC Dmax/A with 37" tires and a 6" suspension lift. The cost was stupendous (stupid). She pulls a 10000 lb blue water boat with twin 300 V-techs. I've rode in the truck and it rides as expected (noisey-bouncy).
Of course the Dmax has the power to overcome those heavy tall tires with much parasitic drag. Dropped her empty highway milage from 18 to 13/13.5 mpg but its what she wants. Oh..... and shes 50 years old.
For towing/working duties I would mess with a suspension lifted truck like that. A small body lift...maybe.
