2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission rear of truck too high?

[Good Ole Bob]

I am wandering if anyone who tows a goose neck or 5th wheel, has found that the rear of their truck sits up too high? I am planing on moving to Colorado in June, and may tow a goose neck up there when I go. At the present, I use a low boy to haul the tractor and it makes the rear sit down some, but; I do not know if the tail gate will get in the way, with the other trailer. I know that there is a lowering kit available thru CD. Has anyone used it? Thanks for the help in advance. Bob

I tow a gooseneck with mine. You have to be careful when you get them in a bind or you could possibly hit the bed. The only time that I have come close is when the truck was on higher ground than the trailer.

Do you mean D/C? There is a TSB out where the dealer can lower the rear of these to help people that have fifth wheels
