Howdy. Dumb question here.
I know the regular cab SRT-10 is not rated to tow. But it seems to me have most of the things I want in a tow vehicle - Big engine, manual transmission, regular cab, short bed, big brakes. It is compact and powerful.
I realize the suspension is set up as a street rod. But is it possible to modify the suspension back to regular SLT specs? Lift the front and rear to regular 2WD height. Put the axle on top of the leaf springs. Install heavy duty towing springs front and back. Maybe add helper springs or air bags to increase payload. The 2004 RCSB Hemi can tow 9000 lbs. With 525 ft-lbs of torque, the V-10 out to be able to tow.
Go ahead and tell me how this is a dumb idea.
