Question here

How do you guys with lifted trucks tow Trailers?

I've seen a couple lifted tucks on the road with trailers in-tow, but I wasn't close enough to see what their set-up was.

I guess this question can also be Directed to y2kz71, cause I saw in your parade thread that you had a rather Large trailer for hat float, and it looked relatively low comared to the Back bumper of your truck. So I ask, how did you do it?

All that I've seen people is buy different drop hitches. They look like the regular hitch tongue, but you can buy them in varying levels of drops. Since dodge rams are so dang tall most of those guys need to use a drop hitch for towing trailers.

can only tow the "bumper pull" style or whatever you want to call it. but like he said its all in the drop hitch. if you dont have any good shops around it can be hard to find one.

Yep, drop hitches. I think the max drop is a 6", but no certain. And Wal-Mart has them here as well as all trailer/hitch accessories dealer including U-Haul.

Drop hitches or putting a lift on the trailer are what most guys use when towing. Usually that is all that is needed because most guys don't use their lifted trucks for regular towing of large loads. Very few guys even think about towing a gooseneck or fifth wheel with a lifted truck, even fewer do it. That is why my trucks are going to stay stock, so I can tow those trailers with no problem.
