Question:
Can I pull a 12000 pound 5th wheel travel trailer with a lift on my truck?

Expert Reply:
Yes, you can pull a 5th wheel trailer with a lifted truck but will still need to abide by the weight capacities listed in the owner's manual. The only problems you will run into are excessive vehicle sag and an un-level trailer but we have options for both of these issues. I have attached some parts you will and may need for a 2000 Ford F-350 below.
