RC 3.5 Lift + Towing?

[Ezekiel2517]

Hello.  I have a 2019 max Trailering crew cab LTZ with a 6.2.  Currently have a 2" spacer on the front with a 1.5" block on back with Billsteins and air bags.  I tow a 7000# RV routinely using a LDH.  It pulls and rides fine and no issues after 45K miles.

 

Id like to do a RC 3.5" on the front and change my rear block to 2".

 

Since I tow, and that will raise the front end wile loaded (regardless of the load distribution hitch), would it make sense to add a differential drop kit as well?  

 

Thanks!

If your doing a 3.5 in the front I highly recommend a diff drop without the drop you will be putting your CV axles at a severe angle and will blow them out real soon, the max lift on the front is 2" and that is pushing it. If go the route of diff drop and 3.5 in the front and 2 in the rear your going to be a little nose high and most likely get flashed at night due to headlights higher up and you can alway adjust them down. You will still get a tiny bit of sag in the rear even with a LDH.

thanks.  Im trying to find a dfif drop kit.  I see these ones that have two oddly shaped brackets, and then I see ones that have just 4 bolts with some spacers.  Which one is correct?

 

I actually wouldnt mind my lights slightly higher, though I think I can adjust that.  I have the LEDs and they seem to point down too much on the highway.
