Even with a relocation of the springs to the top of the axles, don't think my trailer would be high enough.

While I love my 450, take a look at this beast from Dodge. Now just imagine it in the new body of the 2009's as a 4500 pickup. Than of course there is the issue of $5.00 a gallon diesel looming over our heads

Completely useless! unless your towing a TT you cannot tow a 5`er or a goose neck with them! and being a dually, thats what they were designed for.
