I’ll hand it to you, you’d look to make something negative. The point of posting this light hearted and funny video was to draw attention to the fact that it “IS” questionable to tow with lifted trucks due to the geometry of the newer suspension which is designed to lift not tow. Custom Offsets would’ve ruined themselves if they 100% admitted that lifted trucks are not good for towing. Made points throughout the video.

It isn't questionable to tow with a lifted truck. There are just downsides to towing with a lifted truck. And it's not the suspension geometry that's the issue, it's the truck to trailer geometry. Everything needs to be level to tow safely, there for, in bumper pull applications the ball needs to be lowered to keep the trailer level. Doing this adds a leverage point, which will increase the effective tongue weight. Meaning the weight you put on the tongue needs to be lower to account for the leverage. Is it a lot? Probably not at 4", but it's there.

And to your statement about CST not widening the track, making it better, not true. A wider suspension track isn't an issue when towing. Spacers are, they are no different than higher offset wheels. It comes down to a leverage point again.

Exactly. Gear ratio alone changes tow ratings typically. Changing tire size is comparable to changing gears.

Also be mindful of the load ratings on 22 “ tires and wheels.

Nothing changes tow ratings. The rating the truck gets when it's built, is the rating it gets till the day it's sent to the crusher. Changing the gears only assists in the truck ability to deal with the GCWR/GVWR it is allowed.

There are a few absolutely infatuated with me, creepy and yet hysterical. Anyone interested in a Lift that doesn’t affect towing, https://cstsuspension.com/

Please make sure to read and not just look at the pictures, LOL [emoji23]

Check out CST https://cstsuspension.com/ doesn’t affect towing. Mine is 18 6.2 CC with 4.5” CST lift and absolutely love it! Their lifts do not affect towing capacity, turning radius especially doesn’t give that awful wider track at all

So which is it?

Lift kits effect towing by making it questionable or CST is the only (not true) Lift you can get that won't effect towing?

And stopping the spread of miss information is not Infatuation. Just because you get proven wrong or incompetent often, doesn't mean people are infatuated.

Untrue, widened track width absolutely affects towing capabilities.

nope, you are incorrect.

Agreed. In my opinion it makes it more stable. Again as we used to tow a 32' travel trailer with our 2016 tow max with 6" lift

yuuuup. you try to be nice and ignore people but when they are literally spreading misinformation all over the place and refuse to listen to reason it makes it hard to do. you don't want people who don't know any better to listen to this nonsense.

But custom offsets proved it

Brought to you by the same people that thinks it's ok if the tire rubs. Instead of doing more lift or a smaller tire. Geniuses...

Dont waste your breath trying to argue with TXGreek. CST gives this person a hard on and thinks they are perfect with everything they do and they know how to defy all science. Hell CST could make a dildo and TXGreek would get it in a heartbeat because it's the greatest dildo ever.

Would the dildo have better stability?
