Has anyone lifted their Heartland?
Probably can't tell from my sig, that I'm a truck guy... As such I'm a lifted truck guy.
The Ford is currently stock, but its looking more and more like it may get a lift in the future. Obviously having a 5th wheel makes a lift difficult.
Were not talking 16" of lift, max would probably be an 8" suspension with tires maybe 10" max lift.
I know it can be done, the question is has it been done.
Not looking for criticism concerning my ideas, just feeling out those who may have. It's conceivable that this may never happen. However I'm not without chasing an idea and prove myself wrong.
Conceivably I could have longer trailer spring bent by Atlas or National spring and beyond my way. This is easy for up to 4" of lift beyond that the shackle mounts will need to move.
Additionally front jacks and rear stabilizers will require mods to reach the ground. The steps will need more length the awning will provide less shade and there is always the overall height concern.
I'm just tossing around ideas, feel free to ignore the post.
Thanks
Jeremy
