You guys don't even know about gas prices. Come here and you'll know. Right now the cheapest on the island is $3.70. Two summers ago diesel hit $5.45/gal. Try making a living with a diesel boat the holds 1300 gallons and burns 10gal/hour cruising @12knts and just the steam out on particular trips to the grounds can be 15 hours, let alone driving a gas truck.
Sorry, just wanted some pity. As for you next mods, I wouldn't spend $500 just for a 3" lift. From all the lifted guys I talk to, seems about a month after they lift they want to go higher. Just spend $100 for a good level and maybe another $100 for an AAL, block, or shackles lift in the rear afterwards. I'm one of those d-bags with rockstars though....
I know they're on a lot of trucks on the forum but I haven't any around me, so I feel unique.

I'm glad I don't have that diesel anymore though.

But yes its YOUR truck and your decision. And yea gas pices are kickin my ***. But you gotta pay the cost to ride big.
