Yeah I loosened the lower control arm, it didn't help much. Luckily for me, I've done pretty well this year financially so I was ok spending the money to let somebody else do it.

 

I gotcha. Mine won't be till sometime next year. Planning to do the level and get some used AT tires, then later on buy wheels and tires. But I'm planning to go with Fox 2.0 coils. I've got some Fox 2.0 rears on order, just waiting for Stage 3 to get a new shipment. I need to slow down and finish paying off my credit cards to free up some extra income.

 

I feel ya, those credit cards can get you in trouble! I've been good and always pay mine in full every month, but I have a buddy that wasn't so lucky. $12k later, his would be newer truck payment is now his consolidated loan debt payment.

 

I was really good with it till I had to buy a new trans in my last truck. Pretty much maxed one and depleted my bank account. Had to open a new one to pull through without parental assistance. Then living expenses ran that one up. I've almost got the Discover paid off ($583 left), then I'll start working on the Visa ($1200). I focused on Discover because it was a lower balance (monthly pay off) and charged interest. Visa is still interest free. I actually took the Discover out of my wallet so I'll stop using it. Once I'm back out of credit card debt it'll probably go back in.

 

Well that's good to hear that it was for necessities instead of wants.

 

What about towing?
When I hook up my trailer (a small one, under 4000lbs), the back end squats down and my stock "rake" is suddenly leveled out.

If I was to add a spacer on the front to level things out, then if I hook up my trailer aren't my headlights going to be pointing up at the sky?

I've seen a few "leveled" trucks pulling big and small trailers, and they look ridiculous because the back-end is compressing (as it should) but the front is sky-high.

 

"At the sky" is kind of an exaggeration... might angle them up a few degrees, but I don't know if it'd be THAT high.

 

Well, I guess in all fairness, that included the alignment, but it was more like $425...

 

Yup. I'm a little smarter than that at times. Lol. Only at times. Discover just upped my credit line again to $3800... And I already had the TERRIBLE thought of "Hmmmm... I could buy my coilovers, wheels, and tires with this." For sure NOT doing that. Haha

 

http://www.daveramsey.com/ start listening to his radio show or podcast... changed my life. I have a CC with $20K limit and Cabelas gave me one with $15K (closed now), luckily not carrying a balance. I paid off $90K in debt in 3 years. Snowball the debt and start using cash/debit. Get a rainy day fund... makes life much easier.
