5th Wheel lift?
I am looking to upgrade from stock wheels and tires on my 06 F350 to aftermarket. My issue is what would my limit be on tire size/ lift/ leveling kit before I lose my fifth wheel capabilities? I have heard that I could put a 33" tire on and not have to worry about lifting it. I would like to go around 35" if that is possible. I was also told that if I go with a 35" tire that I would have to lift it about 3" for clearance. Thanks for any help.

It really depends on your trailer and where you drive. The v portion of the trailer needs a couple of inches of clearance, more if you deal with a lot of hills or inclined driveways. It would also depend if your trailer had an adjustable king pin.
You could possibly lift the trailer too. Either different springs, bigger tires or both.

I had a 26 foot Springdale fifth wheel for 5 years and have always run 285/75's. Didn't need to do anything to the trailer. Dealer said they setup the trailer heights for Ford and Dodges and can lower them if necessary for Chevy's.
