Anonymous

Just got my shackles this morning from AC and I just got to wondering, by adding the PML that will not affect my towing capability besides having to get a ball mount with a 2" drop would it? I dont think it will, but I just wanted to get some other feedback from people who have done the lift and use their rig to tow the tows around.

Thanks TJ, I just wanted to make sure that the weight wouldn't make the longers shackles bind or flex the wrong way or something.

You are going to probably need more drop than that. I just have a PML w/ AAL's and I need a 6" drop to get my trailer near where it is supposed to be. I can't imagine what you'd need with a 3" lift and an aftermarket rear bumper.
