Even though I know that a 5th wheel trailer pulls nicer down the road than a bumper pull, if I'm going to be lifting my Chevy 6" and running 35" tires under it, then a bumper pull would be a better way to go right??? (I'm thinking of getting a Toy Hauler somewhere between 26'-30' in length.) Also, there doesn't seem to be many 5th wheel Toy Haulers available less than 30' long anyway.

you are right. with that kind of lift and those tires, you'd have to lift the 5er too

. and you're right about the 5er length too. most 5er haulers are well over 30'

Around here that is almost STD. I see many lifted trucks hauling 5ths. In fact my truck ('01 F350 4X4) came with 4" blocks from the factory and I run 33" tires with no problems towing my 33' and pulling the toys behind that.

I would tow a 30'ish 5th with a 6" lift and 35" tires, but would regear the diff. to get back to the right ratio for good towing performance. You also must get good tired that have at least the weight rating of your stock tires.

Not to bash chevys, but a 6" on a chevy isn't much taller than what I have now. I know because thats what I have been looking at to replace my current truck, it sucks that you have to lift a chevy, but they come from the factory as low riders!!!!
