Flat Towing Silverado with 2" lift

Does anyone know how well a 4x4 Chevy Silverado Crew Cab with a 2" lift will tow behind an 2018 Tiffin RED? I have 10,000 towing capacity and I know a non lifted truck will tow fine, but looking at a truck with a 2" lift. Hoping it will tow without any issues behind a DP.

I do not know about a Tiffin Red, but I tow a 2016 Silverado with 2in lift behind my Coachmen Sports Coach and it pulls great. There is about 1 inch from being horizontal on the blue ox tow bar. 1 inch is within the norms for towing.

If the tow bar angle close to level, it wouldn't matter if the toad had a lift or not. I have towed a stock Grand Cherokee and later with a 5" lift and long arm conversion. I couldn't tell the difference.

No reason for a lift to make any difference unless it was incorrectly done and the castor angle is way off.

Just do what’s necessary with your hitch to keep the tow bar angle close to level with the ground.

I have a gasser pulling my Silverado. I actually would like mine to be lifted so I could potentially eliminate my drop hitch. It's all about your hitch height compared to where the tow hooks (tow bar hookups) are height-wise. My next truck might be a Trail Boss with the factory 2" lift.

I towed a 2012 Chevrolet crew cab, 4x4, LTZ for about five years. I installed a 2" leveling lift on the front end. As long as the tow bar is level, it will tow fine.
