Great thread and some good points on both ends but it's like the Chevy VS Ford VS Dodge issue. There want be a clear winner because it all comes back to the driver him or herself.
I have a 18' utility trailer that I pull with my 08 Tahoe and don't think nothing about it loaded are unloaded it's back there and drive. Remember the lentgh and drive.
My wife, son and daughter if something happen to me and they had to drive for get it it want happen never ever. They would leave the trailer and whatever was on it behind!

I carry golf carts back and forth to the beach with it and run 75-80 MPH with it and it's not even back there except when I need to pass someone! U have to remember the extra lentgh to get back over and when making a turn.

It's all about the driver!
Oh I do pull the trailer locally with my 71 some but not offten. I didn't build it to pull a trailer.

It sucks not being able to hear! LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB! After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.
