    ok, so a while back I talked about my leaf springs being flat and blah blah blah, some one said to take picks and show you guys, so I will be putting some on here. I looked and found both points to attach the spings to the truck,but they are so far apart from one another. Is that the norm?

    probablly the best thing to do would be to get a new leaf pack, or AAL. do you normally have a lot of weight in the bed?

    No, but it still bottoms out on the bump stops all the time. So maybe a new leaf pack is the best for it.

    yeah, the 3 leaf pack is known for being weak from the factory and those springs are 7 years old. An AAL would buy you time. If you plan to drive it a long time, it would probably be best to just install new leaf springs.

    A bumper here, some tires there..... you know, stuff.
    i wish i could get the CBI high clearance. I have a topper with the dakars and the add a leaf for about a month. So far i love them and its perfect with the topper. I duct taped the ends of the add a leaf and greased the hell out of them and have not had a squeak yet.

    Anyone in here familiar with real estate?

    Looking to buy and not rent anymore.

    I don't wanna throw away 800-1000 bucks each month on something that I don't own, but then again....I'm a first time buyer without much of a down payment...so, :notsure: what to do, or where to start.

    I've done some calculations and such and cost of rent seems to outweigh the cost of buying...I need some further insight on this.

    Thoughts and ideas would be awesome.

    Edit: if you need a real estate agent, LMK.
