Towing a car lowered NNBS

[Shimmy23]

I wanted to start a new thread here, just to confirm my thoughts. I've read several other posts on here with folks that have towed with no issues, but many are using helper bags. I'm concerned that my car will squat too much.

I just bought a classic bronco, that i need to trailer home. Including the uhaul trailer and bronco, i'm looking at towing ~7000lbs. I'm on the beltech 2/3 spindle kit with OEM 22s. Does anyone see any issues with me trailering the car home with my 2008 Yukon SLE 4wd?

How far are you going? What kind of roads? What kind of rear shocks do you have?

That's quite a load. I'm not sure how the 3" Belltech coils will do. I'm assuming the SLE didn't come with ALC (the factory "air shocks"). Did you do the free travel mod? You really should with a 3" drop. If it were me, I'd invest in load bags. The ~$100 investment would be more than worth it. Assuming the total towed weight and tongue weight are all within your Yukon's capacities, you should be just fine with the load bags.

I’m going about 100 miles but over the mountain. Stock shocks using relocation mounts that came with the kit.

But are they Air Shocks?

I’d worry bout the brakes coming down that mountain with 7k behind ya

Looks like you have already received sound advice... I will just post this here...


As a reference, my truck came with RPO code G69 which is the Auto leveling rear suspension which consists of an on board compressor and air shocks in the rear. I retained this feature when lowering my Burb.

I think the U-Haul car trailers all have self-contained braking systems. Maybe.

They do, all the 2 axle rentals do.... 70% of the time they dont work cause of low maintenance from U-Haul. Last one I rented had no brake fluid, and I roasted the brakes on my Envoy.
