GE8 with Swift springs and still tow a trailer?

Curious if a GE8 with Swift springs and stock tires would be capable of still towing a small single motorcycle trailer. Will the drop be too dramatic to consider the bit of tongue weight on the hitch?

Anyone do this? Opinions? Experiences?

Pulling a trailer will be an occasional thing and won't be for extremely long distances.

I have swifts and I think you will be fine with a small trailer and bike.I dont do any towing but I've had my car loaded with 4 adults and a full hatch area with no problem bottoming out.

The swift drop is so mild and the slight increase in spring rate should help with the weight of the trailer.

You aint haulin a Boss Hoss V8 are ya lol

Just a sportbike (400lbs +/-) here and there. May haul some material every once in a while. Going to find a fairly small trailer here eventually for random use.
