Howdy,
1998 Dodge 2500 with slightly larger than stock tires and a adjustable receiver tube flipped over to make it a riser.

Sets the saddle height around 23.75 inches high.

Howdy,
Remember, these trailers have surge brakes. That means backing them can be a problem up a incline of any type. Backing and hitting a curb will most definitely lock the brakes, and could cause damage to your receiver riser on your tow vehicle. I am using only a slight rise on my receiver. The higher you go, the better chance of you twisting up that riser.

Going forward is not to bad of a problem. It only comes to the smaller vehicles that use a really high riser, and they have a M1102 loaded. The weight be itself could be a problem for the tow vehicle.

If your wanting to go off-roading with a LTT trailer, then you should probably look into a swivel pintle receiver.

Howdy,
I have not changed my trailer tires. There are threads here with information about what rims and tires fit. A simple way of lowering the ride height.

Live pulled mine about a total of 10,000 miles with a 2500HD Duramax. Backing was never a problem for it it up hills or over curbs. I parked it ever night in a hotel parking lot where I had to back over a curb then up hill. Of course my truck weighed 8,800lbs and trailer was about 3,000-3,500. I fabbed a hitch that pulls it level.

I put 16" trailer rims and trailer tires for pulling behind a 3500 Ram.
Leveled out fine, and tires are available anywhere.,
If using it with the Hmmwv, then swap out the tire/wheels.
Trailer rims have a big center hole to fit the trailer hub.
Cucv wheels dont fit due to center hole to small.
