I agree... plus they never drive right again. Unless you do something really cool like a KORE.
But, if you do lift it, please stay away from the Rock Krawler junk. Scary bad stuff! Crap is so bad it shouldn't even be legal to sell.

ive used Rock Krawler, Superlift, Skyjacker, and Top Gun Customz....Go with the Top Gun Customz, they will mix and match anything you want, 5 inch springs, long arms, 2 inch spacer, sure can, 10 inch diesel coils, long arms, why not......
im still trying to figure out the comment about a lifted truck cant tow......been doing it with years on trucks with 35's and 6 inches of lift......never had a problem, actually towed better than they did stock.....

As for using a hitch modified to bend extemely downwards to a normal hitch height level, you're generally left with a weaker connection to your trailer than you would have otherwise.
And with a lift comes taller tires, which leads to more fuel and less torque.
As for towing better than stock. The lift probably makes things tow better, due to the truck pushing a higher volume of air, out of the trailer's way. But then again, a lifted truck is pushing that same volume of air whether it's pulling something or isn't.
Then you can have a tiny matter of a cop pulling you over for, basicly, no reason; saying your headlights are too high off the ground and/or the tires are sticking too far away from the truck... (for those more radical lifts.)

Well... my comment was more related to goose necks and the way center of gravity moves further back on the trailer effecting the overall balance; and most times can make the trailer just trail funny, making it unsafe. Or at the very least... having the rear end of a trailer scaping pavement.

more fuel less torque? if your worried about loss of torque add bigger injectors
