he probably wants to know why the back of hit truck sits up higher than the front, because he doesnt realize that trucks we designed to haul things in the bed, so they intentionally make the back end high to compensate for the presumed extra weight it will be carrying, his next question will be the cheapest way to level it, everyone will tell him to add f250 coils, then he will come on here a month later and ask about rear springs because he loaded a trailer (probably way over the weight rating for the truck) and it squatted real bad and the front steering was very unresponsive, then he will ask about beefing up the rear springs and eveyone will tell him f250 springs but you have to change the hangers if your 2wd, now he will think he has a full f250 and really over weight the truck, now he has a brake problem and it just doesnt slow like it did before, now he wants to do a disk brake conversion because they are so much better, then he will find out the price to convert a 8.8 to disk and ask about putting a 10.25 rear end in and everyone will tell them it will bolt right in, but the front bolt pattern will not match the new rear end, so he will ask about swapping the front hubs, then the steering knuckles but that wont work either so he asks about swapping in a whole front axle, but that wont work either so he now wants to go a D60 coil spring setup (if 4x4) and wants to know if it will just "bolt in" but it wont because all D60's were spring mounted and not coil so now he wants to know how hard it is to "fab" up coil mounts and radius arms, and if he can buy a kit or will the local shop be able to do it for cheap.

also all this has to be done over the weekend and basically free because this is his daily driver and never sees any offroading, and money is tight, he also has basic tools, and a floor jack, oh yeah and working in the driveway too.
