Default towing with a lowered truck
I have a 99 Silverado that I would like to lower to say a 2/4 or 3/4 drop.

I tow a 67 chevelle which weights 3485 on a open trailer. I have electronic brakes and etc on the trailer. I believe it is Class III, 5000 lbs type setup.

Question:

Can I continue to tow this chevelle with that type of drop? I would like to have a "G" machine type of truck when not towing.
