thats how i tow mine and dont have any problems. i lay it out on some 4x6 boards then strap it down. if you lay it out you might not be able to tighten your straps good and bouncing around it can come loose and beat up your rockers if bodydropped or hit the trailer fenders or worse .you dont wanna tow with it airred up cuz if you blow a bag or line then your straps are coming off, also it could leak down and also loosen straps etc. just bad idea.

i used to tow with mine aired out. I would get in on the trailer drop it about 6 inches from laid out, cross my straps ( always cross your straps ) tighten the straps, lay it out and tighten them the rest of the way.

check out the newest MT they have all that stuff you need to know in an article

I tow for a living. Best thing is to leave it up and let the trucks suspension do what its supposed to.  

i lay mine out on the trailer and strap it at all 4 corners and when i pull it i dont put put around....ask scooter with the hombre....lol

Of course if you have air problems with your air ride then you may need to tow it layed out. Personally I would rather tow aired up. Then you have the suspension on the trailer and the truck to absorb bumps.  If it is layed out and strapped down every bump is transferred into the truck.

i would rather jus drive mine instead of tow it.....2 me part of showing is the ability 2 be able 2 drive it.....unless ur goin like 2-3 states away or like me ur truck wont meet the hight requirements in the surrounding states lol

i have only towed mine once cause i didnt have enought time to take care of tax tag and insurance. i put my truck on a low ride hight and hit the road but i didnt think about crossin the straps.
