Congrats on the new to you DRV!

Most late model pickups come from the factory pretty high already, especially 4WD. So any add on lift kits make them too high for a fiver in most cases.

A good way for you to tell is to measure your Mobile Suite from ground to bottom of the overhang in front near the hitch area with trailer level. Need to account for uneven ground if possible.

This measurement will show you where the trailer will be approx when hooked up. You need a min of 5-6" space between the pickup bed top and trailer. A bit more is a bonus, but 6" is good. Not much less.

Good choice will be a dually. Maybe the truck you are looking at can be lowered if its the truck you like. It may cost some, and maybe need diff tires. Remember to check the wt capacity of the tires and wheel if they are aftermarket. They could have been custom set made for looks not purpose.
