Questions on towing with a lifted truck

A lift kit on a truck is like high heels on a lady- it improves the looks but slows it down a little and makes it not quite so stable. A caveat- for hard core off roaders, a lift kit increases ground clearance and allows for bigger tires, but most trucks with lifts hardly ever see the end of pavement.

Ha! Well said. If I'm to be honest this truck will be 85% road princess and 15% offroad. I spend a lot of time mtn biking up here and in Squamish and Pemberton. A lot of the access to the trailheads is up some fairly gnarly decommissioned service roads. Probably none that warrant the lift I'm looking at but what the hell, I figured I'd have some fun along the way and have always wanted to try a mild lift. It's important to note that the lift I'm considering is a drop lift - drops the differential down to maintain OEM CV angles. I also maintain the factory rake in the truck and have the overload spring so I shouldn't squat anymore than before if I have the right drop hitch.

Thanks for all the feedback! I'm a forum member over at gmfullsize.com and not too many negative comments there but this is the where the real "tow junkies" hang their hats so wanted to post here for comments.
