After Lift Towing Pics

rb-86 · April 6, 2010

First time pulling the boat since I got a rough country 3inch. Raised the front and brought the back a little to level it out. I hardly noticed any sag at all. My boats dry weight is 2200lbs. Plus motor, 73 gallons of fuel, gear, trailer, etc... Very satisfied so far. This month is actually exactly a year since I got her and 23,000 miles on the truck and a little of 6,000 miles on the lift and I have had absolutely no issues at all. Just change oil and pump gas, I haven't even needed to do alignment or balancing on the tires. Here are some pics.

florida looks pretty..

and your truck is higher.. but it doesn't have that 'lifted' look to it.. what kinda tires you running?

is it 2wd? i think if you took off the front valance and got some all terrains, it would look sick.. just a thought.

gosh miami looks pretty.. i need to get out of west texas.

Thanks, I got the stock tires right now. Waiting till they get worn down. Definetly going with some all terrains next. Maybe the goodyear dura tracs. I wanna see if I can squeeze a LT275/65R20 (34") if not an LT 305/55R20 (33") for sure then. Yea its 2wd. Just getting some good weather. Today was the first day I've taken out the boat since November, god it was awesome lol.

That's exactly what I'm looking for! NIce job buddy! Nice CC man. My buddy moved up from Florida 'bout two years ago. Brought his 24' Polar CC, Yamaha 250. He moved just east of Kansas City. Anyway, you should have seen all the HillJack's up here breaking their necks watchin us fly by.

Was wondering how well does it tow? What has been your best MPG... and at what speeds?

LOL thanks, i picked this one up last year for $16,000 for everything (boat, motor, trailer, and even some gear the owner threw in). Its an 05. My truck pulls this boat awesome. No tire slip at the ramp even when the ramp is soaking wet. Never measured the MPG while towing, I'll do it next time I drive to the keys. As for speed i usually keep it between 60-70. But sometimes I forget I wanna passs the guy in front of me and start flying by people close to 80 lol.
