Re: Greg's 50 Build

Honestly, I never towed anything with these trucks, so I can't say how it would handle. I would say a halfton frame would be on the weak side for towing. You'd have to have some good springs/suspension IMO, plus you'd have to make sure you have trailer brakes for load that big. Then tire size plays a roll, 15" tires is not something I'd feel comfy towing with, and if you went 16, your stance is going to be more stock, not sure what your going for. If your serious about towing I'd get a 1ton frame and go LS to be safe and beef up your suspension.
