01bansheefox Posted January 25, 2013 Report Posted January 25, 2013 Just picked up a 2012 Dmax and was gonna do a 9.5'' lift with 37's, will i be able to use the 5th wheel still? What lift/size do you have and run a 5th wheel toy hauler?? Pics also if possible, thanks! Quote
#1JUANstunna Posted January 25, 2013 Report Posted January 25, 2013 You can do an axle flip on the trailer and pick it up so you can get hooked up and pull it. Problem is the taller tires with taller sidewalks suck when pulling a trailer IMO. Mine feels spongy. Quote
ECshee Posted January 25, 2013 Report Posted January 25, 2013 x 2....you'll suffer serious steering driveability. what are you planning on doing to it? Quote
hoppedupandcutdown Posted January 25, 2013 Report Posted January 25, 2013 You can do an axle flip on the trailer and pick it up so you can get hooked up and pull it. Problem is the taller tires with taller sidewalks suck when pulling a trailer IMO. Mine feels spongy. Maybe , my 5th wheel toyhauler came factory with the axles already under the springs. (but I tow with a lowered truck, hitch all the way up and pin box all the way down) Quote
Boston Posted January 25, 2013 Report Posted January 25, 2013 My dodge has a 8inch with 37s and it pulls the dual axle 5th wheel just fine. Also could lift the trailer a few inches if you had to. My buddy did that to his. Quote
So Cal Suspension Posted January 25, 2013 Report Posted January 25, 2013 When I bought my trailer it had the axles flipped... First thing I did was put the axles back to stock height, but I tow with a stock dually. For ATV's is doesn't really matter, but it puts the back ramp door at such a ridiculous angle that a RZR XP would high center trying to get it into the trailer. Also, it puts the first step going into the trailer high enough that you might want to carry another stowable step with you if you have little ones. Quote
Bad one ton Posted January 25, 2013 Report Posted January 25, 2013 Shit my truck is stock suspension, and they had to flip the axles on our old fifthwheel. Otherwise any minor off camber situation would have dented the back of the bed. Thats with just 235/85r16's. I couldnt imagine what the trailer would have looked like to clear 9" lift and 37's. take a picture!!! TON! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
rubberneck Posted January 25, 2013 Report Posted January 25, 2013 just let me know where you will be driving so i can avoid that area Quote
01bansheefox Posted January 26, 2013 Author Report Posted January 26, 2013 Yeah after doing research I'm just going to remove the 5th wheel and just you a drop hitch with tongue type trailer. Quote
Bad one ton Posted January 26, 2013 Report Posted January 26, 2013 Be careful with a drop hitch. Depending on your tongue weight on the trailer and the length of the drop, the leverage when accelerating and braking, you could bend or snap the hitch. Im not sure as of today, but about 10 or 12 years ago i bent a 12" drop hitch, with a utility trailer filled with 2 tons of rock. They may be a little more stout now, but thats always in the back of my mind. TON! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
So Cal Suspension Posted January 26, 2013 Report Posted January 26, 2013 Lifted trucks are for dudes with small weiners. Fact. Quote
01bansheefox Posted January 26, 2013 Author Report Posted January 26, 2013 thats why im getting it lifted so my dick looks bigger Quote
2strokeshees Posted February 22, 2013 Report Posted February 22, 2013 6 inch with 37's, looks awesome and tows perfect, 9.5 I feel you will run into problems. Why so big??? Quote
