Lift Kit and Towing

[65thkj]

Just wanted to get opinions on Lift kits and how they are affected w/ towing. I read in another post on LOST that the Rusty's might sag and the coils wear out if it is used for towing.
I tow a trailer ~2000lbs about 10 times per year. I was considering a lift and the Rusty's lift w/ OME upgrade sounds like the best deal but I don't want to have to buy new coils every so often because of sag. Should I go with the OME 1.5" lift instead? I don't want to have to go Frankenlift and buy new A Arms. Anyone who tows w/ a lift out there?

OME heavy duties and I tow all the time, no problems

I wouldn't worry about sagging, a 2,000 lb. trailer has a tounge weight of around 200 lbs. That would be about equal to standing on your back bumper.

Who drives around with people standing on their back bumper?

None of the lifts "REQUIRE" the new upper A arms, they are used to help pull your suspension back into a more factory configuration, making it easier to realign the front end and getting the upper ball joint a little further away from the spring decreasing the chance of ball joint boot damage decreasing ball joint life.

Near the bottom is a discussion and pics of our Libby pulling a trailer up North. It did a wonderful job with a 2" RevTek lift, RS5000's & Rubis installed.

Get some air bags for the rear if youre worried about sagging. There cheap and easy to put in..
