6 inch lift and still pull a goose neck?

Here's a dumb question. I'm looking to lift my ! ton a bit, and I happen to have a perfectly good Rough Country lift on another pickup, but could I still pull my goosneck if I needed to? Anybody have pics of this? I'd appreciate any help.

I don't see why not as long as your center the weight correctly and don't have it sagging the rear end i think a majority of people just don't do it because goose neck requires more work you gotta have the piece mounted in bed then you lose that bed space versus a hitch trailer you don't lose that and i think hitch trailers might be slightly cheaper not too sure on that though

I already have the ball mount in, it a Valley type, with the removable ball plate, you can also run a 5th wheel plate in the rails as well. Already have the bumper pull trailer too, and borrow the gooseneck from a buddy, as there are some things my car trailer wont handle. I just dont want the gooseneck to be sloped up towards the front is all.
