Yikes...
(He sayzzz quietly...)

Do you realise what you are asking?

This reminds me a hella lot of the news stories in the seventies of people who bought old post office jeeps and rolled them.

You can get taller "TEE-BONES" between the leafs of the suspension, but you better have shocks.

To this day - I have not seen a single trailer with a sway bar. Not even on gigantic ALFA's.

I guarantee you that if you go there - "CROSSWIND" will become a four letter word to you...

height

when i say lift kit I'm referring to a 2 or 3 inch lift in the suspension of the trailer to make up for the extra height of the 4x4. so the trailer doesnt hit the bedrail of the truck.

That's easily done. The tee-bone links between the leafs go that much taller. Not sure who makes them - you may have to surf for it.
