    Depends on the trailer. You want it as flat as possible when towing. What size tires on trailer?

    6inch lift sitting on bilstein coilovers. Lexus is300 studs in front to keep stock wheels, general grabber red letters, nfab front bumper.
    I got an 8 inch drop on mine and I could still probably go another 2 inches. Not quite as flat as I want my trailer to be.
