Need help!!

I have a 2006 5.4 4x2 F150 with a 2.5 leveling kit and 3" body lift. Will this affect my towing abilities? And how much can I tow? Thanks for your help.

It will if you've also added taller tires....

That will change your effective gear ratio, so you'd have to consider that too.

What do you intend to tow?

What size tires are you running?

What's your gear ratio?

As long as the trailer itself is not some 'mamouth' sized toy hauler or something like that, then you should be fine, even when you get larger tires....

Have fun on those quads!!

Mitch

I don't know about the lift kits, but 3 quads plus trailer surely is soooo far below rated towing of the truck that I would say no problem. I tow 3 quads on Triton trailer with 4.6, but stock 4x4 with 3.55 axle and no problems so far.
