Lift ???

I recenty purchased 3" lift with 305/70/17 34" nitto terra graplers which I havent installed yet. Does anyone know if this will effect my towing power, I tow 7400lb camper. Also I wanted to put new shocks while I'm at it, is there a big difference between rancho 5000 and 9000xl? Any help would be great. Thanks

what year is ur truck and config plz ???

diesel trucks take to lift/bigger tires then gassers. newer trucks also take better to it due to the 5 speed auto trans (if you have that aswell)

but at the end of the day you will still notice some difference, how much depends on your truck and how willing you are to "pretend there is no difference"..

i noticed loss of power right away going from 33" tires up to 35"s on my 03 crewcab V10 3:73 geared truck..
