Yes but you tow with a 2/4 drop mine was a 3/5 and i was running 24's. If I would of bought the boat before I lowered the I would have done a diff setup. But I'M loving the lift. Feels good being above the rest of the cars.

I realize that but it could have been done easily even with the 24's and the 3/5 drop. Glad you're happy with the new lift.

I did tow for a whole year lowered on bags just got tired not to mention i bought a house this year and the slope on the drive was and street became harsh. I woul d hit the hitch and scrap everytime even with the bags. That was my main reason for the lift.

I have been tossing around the notion of puting my stock suspension back on. Still have it in garage. I tow a TT with a dry wieght of about 5100lbs and it gets really harsh after a while of riding on the freeways around here. I remember the factory stuff riding smooth and when I upgrade the shocks it will hopefuly be just firm enough. Might add bag assist if needed, but time will tell.

I love being lifted when it rains here in las vegas the streets flood badly and now that I'm lifted is on thing to worry about.
