    3 inch lift, Gobi Roof Rack and ladder, LED lights, on board compressor.
    Looking for advice. We have a stacker trailer and are getting ready to hit the road, problem is the lift at its highest is about 2 inches shy of our 4Runners Gobi rack. The idea is to have the 4Runner below and some bikes up top. Wondering if I can reduce the air in the tires to gain that 2 to 3 inches and tow with straps? I have never towed with low air pressure and I am not sure if it will damage the sidewalls of our 33 inch tires. Any input would be awesome thanks!

    So everyone's silence must mean I am crazy for even thinking this?
