I currently have a two inch Kore leveling kit and an looking at buying a 5.5" rough country. question I have is I am sled pulling with it and towing a two car goose neck. Would I be able to keep the upgraded Kore leaf packs and not use the blocks or would it be to much lift in the front. Second would I be able to use a gooseneck trailor? Thanks for the info in advance

bump...i really am not sure so if anyone could give some opinions it would be greatly appreciated!

If i understand correctly you want to lift the front with the 5.5 kit and retain the kore leafs on the truck right now. I would think it would sit quite a bit lower in the rear ,but i dont know what kore packs you are reffering to:confused013:. I thought for the 2 inch kore kits you just got rear billet blocks?

i honestly dont remember and i was trying to look it up today but couldnt find to much. It said leafs but im going to call kore hopefully monday and try to figure it out. I feel though if i put the 5.5" lift with the blocks it has it wont support my rear correct? and would i even be able to hook a gooseneck up:confused013:

Call kore and see what leafs are on there. Most of there stuff is for better off road feel so i would think there spring rate would be a little lighter. If so i would just get a set of airbags and problem solved. As far as towing with blocks i wouldn't be worried plenty of people do it. What type of weight are you talking about with the gooseneck fully loaded.

Oh and as far as height of the gooseneck i would think you would be ok. I have the ranch 5" with 37s and there plenty of adjust ability with the gooseneck i have a work.

well two car trailor and it depends on the cars really. i mean you dont know until you shop up and have to tow stuff. Im just curious if i would be able to connect the goose neck hitch in the bed or if the truck would be to high? and with sled pulling i know id need traction bars most likely but i guess what it comes down to is does anyone know if the 5.5" rough country lift is ok for sled pulling with its rear set up?

Well looks like all rough country kits come with are blocks for the rear, no option for springs. After the last dune trip i think traction bars regardless of blocks would be a good thing:thumbsup:.

Axle wrap sucks

oh man but thats what im worried about then would it hold up on the sled or be to much without traction bars and even with traction bars would it be enough?:confused013:

 

[smoked05]

I would think traction bars would greatly improve the situationarty018:. Unfortunately Ive never sled pulled, but pulling dmax's with 38' 5th wheels in sand has to be similar when you start to wrap up the springs. I say do the lift, get some bars or make em, and get bags. Let me know how it goes.:thumbsup:

there are a few guys with pics on the site mattiac i know for sure with a 6'' lift and 37" tires and still pull a gooseneck, I have 8 inches of lift and 37" tires and still sled pull with out trac bars, just make you some good bump stops so you dont squat the rear end.

i have that rough country lift, and have pulled a sled twice and didn't seem to have a problem. I have 35s and my gooseneck is totally fine. I hate the kit though, it rides really harsh and I'm pulling it out very soon to build my own kit. I know your not asking about the kit but I thought I would get my advice from expirience.

most people just fab up there own, and how they make them depends on the rules, some rules state you need 1" suspension travel, others you can have them fully blocked, i ordered some from lazersmith i think it was his screen name is something like 8xler on the forums, he does really good work. But what alot of people dont relieze is that, bump stops help out alot, especially with lifts to were it can sag real bad in the back, they help you pull better and take stress of the suspension parts so they are not compressing so bad.
