Posi12Bolt Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 ok so my SS has my car trailer hooked to it about 50% of the time and my question is if I lower it 2"-3" will I lose or ruin my towing capabilities? I have 23" wheels on it and there is a ugly gap that I would like to get rid of! So you guys that are dropped, please comment and tell me what ya think...and what setup your runnin... thanks P.S. - Anyone know how that drop kit "04SS" has for sale would be for towing??

SSminneapolis Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 i have mine dropped with the mcgaughys kit. looks great. i have loaded the bed up a few times...usually do not have a problem...but if you are going to be towing a trailer 50% of the time i would suggest getting some load leveling air bags so that when you hook up you can level the truck out again...i think you would get a much better ride as well... i have a firestone system myself...haven't installed it yet though. ill get the numbers and such and PM you the info...

hank Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 im lowered 2" and have towed a boat and a car on a trailer before. it can get a little bumpy. a firestone airbag kit for the rear is the way to go. i had this set up on my 96 silverado and it worked great. it was an ex-cab long bed dropped 4"-6".

6.0ss Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 You can install a load helper spring on your leaf pack for really cheap, that will help you tow all you need to with out riding your bump stops the whole time!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALASKASS Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 AirBags are the way to go! Last winter I used my ss for towing a 28 ft enclosed snowmachine trailer every weekend and ive got the a belltech lowering kit on mine which rode great while towing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
