Max lift for pulling 5th wheel

I currently have a 4" and was wanting to go higher 6" or 8" but plan on buying a 5th wheel and wasn't sure how much would be too much without doing a axel flip on the trailer. I run 33" BFG's and probably won't go more than 35's. Thanks...

Many guy's want to drop the truck from stock so I don't know what to tell you. Depends on the trailer.

I think you will have to do an axle flip now, without the larger lift. You could do the axle flip and different tires and wheels on the trailer with the larger lift. Never seen that but i think it would look good. Just cost ya more! How long is the 5th whell you want? There may not be a tire available for the larger wheel size you come up with that will carry the trailer safely. But,,,Maybe

PS. Get it too high and it will not tow worth a Sh@#
