Ok, I just checked mine and the tires are rated at - Load Range "D" for 3965 Lbs per tire. and the bed height is right about 5' 8-3/4". So all you did is flip your axles on your trailer? What's your trailer weigh dry and about what's it weigh loaded with ?? I'm guessing a sandrail from your aviator.
Thanks!!!

Well Robert I don't know how much taller you want me to lift it... That was how our conversation started after he told me he "flipped" the axles....LOL So we went another 5". Now your riding level and the running gear isn't getting "beat" any more. Talk about Attitude... Still only 13'8" to the top of the A/C. Had to go to a "low pro" unite on the front! Enjoy!!! P.S. "Oldman" told me to post the pics... what he says goes! LOL

I dont want to burst any bubbles but I was told by the trailer sales people when I bought my toy box that they will not sell you a 5er if you come in with bigger tires than 35" So buy the trailer then lift truck. Its a liability thing im sure

Funny, my co-worker just bought a Attitude trailer last weekend and the dealer let him hitch up his trailer and leave with NO Trailer Brakes !!

I'd love to see more pics of this truck alone.

I have a hard time dealing and rationalizing with dealerships ( sales ppl )...LOL When is the last time a sales person said "here is my cell # call me if you have any problems 24/7 and I will do all I can to help you out. Or better yet come out and help you fix it or fix it for ya?" I'm sure ther are a few out there.... at the same time I think you would hear something more like "well I would have to talk to the manufacture about that" 10 months later ... after you have already taken care of the issue yourself, they may call you back and offer to help pay for a small fraction of the issue... Lets be real about this.... as a matter of fact this could be a whole nother post!!! Sales vs Service. The never ending drama. For example they put HD shakel bolts on Roberts trailer an stock shakels. Bolts are to long and bottom out before they tighten down on the shackle. Problem??? YUP and a safty issue!!! I tryied to contact the dealer , the manufacture, frame company, and got nothing but the "run around" about it. Here is a pic to show what I'm talking about. Attitude is not the only one. They all have ther own issues. To belive a sales men?? Sorry, sour subject for me. I used to work for a dealership.. I don't now for a reason. OK I'm done now.... LOL

dam all these nice trucks!!! didnt think it was possible to tow with those kinds of lifts!

here is my truck and trailer. f-350 srw 4" donahoe lift in front with a donahoe 4 link. no lift in the rear. 35" toyo at tires, stock ford wheels powder coated black. 10" clearance on the overhang, trailer axles "flipped". trailer is right at legal height. no issues. i will be getting a larger truck though in the future. this single rear wheel thing is not all its cracked up to be. definitely need to get an f-450 or larger truck. thinking of picking up a used semi thats been converted at this point...f-350 dually is what i should have bought at minimum, not an f-350 srw. only saving grace is i have e rated tires, with a 4080lb load capacity on them. tires are very stout, and hold up very well.

sorry, truck and trailer dirty for this shot....

PM sent. Looks great.

An old Set up,Towed very Nicely. 19.5 Brentz Wheels/19.5 Toyos Load Range G 6" Lift F350 Dually,5" Trailer lift

truck is 3500 D/A with 9" Cognito & 37's, flipped axles on the WW. Tows straight and level. Just know you will need/want gears or chip!

did you guys get another 5er? i thought you were still using bobs moho?

that set up is bad azz man, I love that truck and trailer

Do you know exactly where this is at?

Those shackles look nice, who makes them?

Looks like Dexter's to me.

Thank you...looking them up now...

someone had flipped the axles on my sand piper- THat and used 5.5 inch tall perches with the wrong shackle or the wrong perch. THe brackets were pinched in and eventually failed and completely layed over. Fortunately i got it home without any problems. I ordered the correct brackets then boxed them as well as tied them together side to side.







there was a pic earlier of using tubing to lift the perches- Be carefull with that- I did a quick repair just for the weekend once i noticed i had a problem- I couldnt locate the correct perch bracket so i used a 4.5 inch perch with a 1/8th inch thick piece of rectangle tubing. No offroad just a quick hour tow and back to sacramento on the highway collapsed the 1x2 retangle tubing!

My trucks lifted 4 inches and on 37's tows fine and feels stable with these toyos- THe pro comps i had before were garbage.
I found a matching set of weld wheels at a garage sale but i havent looked into 17 inch trailer tires. That and i would have to have the rims narrowed as they are 10 wide now.


before


after




trailer stayed the same height but now its level without having the 5th wheel hitch maxed out hieght wise

Scottzilla, what color did you paint your truck??

I'm digging that look!!

urethane liner- we just started spraying it at the shop and I used my truck to practice and get a hang of the machine- If you like that check out this hummer we just did- we were able to create a ghost flame efect that you only see at certain angles










ok thread jack over

I run an 8" on a TT without any issues. One thing I see on a lot of these lifted trucks is that they seem to lack air bags and squat a bunch out back.
