Towing with leveling kit

I was just seeing if you guys had any pictures while towing with a leveled truck, preferably with a gooseneck. Maybe some pics with and without airbags even. I'm wanting to level my truck and I was wanting to see how bad the noise stuck up while towing.

This is about the only pic I have of my truck towing anything near a sizeable load. Trailer weight in this pic is about 9,000lbs but with how I had the machine loaded the tongue weight wasn't too bad. No bags on my truck.

You can sorta see the rear end sag...not the best angle for it though unfortunately.

My truck is leveled but I have 3500 overload springs in the back so it doesn't squat much. I don't have any pics towing though.
I took my overloads off just for a little better ride in the back, and you can tell the truck squats more when towing than with the overloads. Mine has a 1.5 level

We were bored...My old piece of S$*# trailer with my buddies 2500 on just to see if it would fit. No overloads


Same piece of S$*# trailer with demolition car on it and gear in the bed of truck


*Trailer dead weight was 2260lbs triple axle. Again no overloads springs. :)

That's not that bad, I don't tow very often, just a few loads of cattle and hay a year, maybe a truck or two. Every trailer I pull is a gooseneck to, I've had one bumper hitch hooked to it since I've owned it. I just love the looks of a leveled truck, plus I'm wanting to run a wider wheel. Keep them coming guys.

here's what my truck looks like with a custom leveling kit and 3500 over load springs in the back. 295 terra grapplers.

Any pics with a trailer on it?:thumbsup:
If you have a levelling kit and tow anything heavy you WILL need air bags or something to stop it from squatting, no way around it.
If not it'll look pretty stupid and you'll be blinding people going the other way at night.

We pack lotsa crap when we camp, 2 boats, 2 motors, 2 sets of anchors, etc etc including 60 gallons of water in the back, then we have a trailer with a 1400 pound tongue weight, this pic I have probly 70-80psi in my Pac Brake air bags

the only picture I have with the leveling kit and trailer hooked up, I went with the 2.5" with my 5th wheel hooked up it sits just a little below level.

I'm wanting to go with 2in leveling coils, then maybe airbags down the road.

Go ahead and level it. It's gonna look a hell of a lot better. And once u start pulling your cows and hay around if i fells too squirmy just slowdown and order some airbags when u can. Odds are u don't pull cattle or hay cross country so it shouldn't be that much of an inconvince.

Might as well try it.

TW, what kinda pin wt we talking? Keep in mind you 2500 won't have factory overloads ontop of the leafs like a 3500 so it'll squat a little more.
