lifted truck?
Hey all - soon to be making the shift to a TC, and that starts with upgrading my truck. I'm looking a getting a used dually, and one I'm checking out is lifted by several inches. It's running 18 inch...

A couple of things to start.. Likely your jacks will be at full extension, or even up on blocks in order to remove or remount your camper. That can be OK when on pavement, but if you plan to remove the rig at your destination in a campground, you have to be extra careful with having a stable flat surface to put the jacks on.
The other item is your steps in. Some use platforms to put the lower step on, but even then, getting the scissor steps to work well when there is a lower back end to put the steps on is really difficult and dangerous at times. Family and dogs coming up and down sloping steps is not fun.
Yeah, so a dually would probably still haul it fine...... But if you haven't had a lifted truck before, you'll go thru steering and driveline parts quicker. Yes it will roll more, but plenty of camper s on jacked up trucks, although not my first choice. And height may be an issue.
My srw stock suspension ram is tall enough that I almost have to max out the jacks to load it. If it had even a 4" lift and 35s I'd have to put blocks unsolder the jacks to get the camper up enough to load.
