 Truck Lift - Managing the Effects of Height Adjustments
As a rule, full-sized light trucks (half-ton to one-ton pickups and sport-utility vehicles) come from the factory with bumper and hitch assemblies that are appropriate for towing.
With long trailers, such as a four-horse stock trailer or a boat trailer, you may be able to mate trailer and hitch, but the trailer angle from front to back could be enough to cause the trailer to scrape the rear end on the road.
Most important, the bumper should be certified for the industry "V-5" towing standard, the highest degree of structural and material integrity.
