    That i know from experience, (as i'm sure many others do to):cry: I'm just trying to figure if i need a 6" or 8" drop. Instead of buying and returning them.

    I just had my truck lifted too, so I subsequently bought a Rapid Hitch so I could adjust the height as needed. However, I noticed during tow that my truck surges back-and-forth as if the trailer is pushing-and-pulling the truck. I'm sure this action is not good on the Allison, so I am a bit worried about the long hauls to Havasu. More importantly though, the Domestic Commander (wife) says the motion makes her sick!
    Any suggestions on a fix?
