    I am not sure if this would help in this situation, but I added an AAL and also these. These axel blocks add 1/2" of lift and go between the axel and the rear leafs:

    Ya dude got nerves of steel, every emergency is different in nature an depends on traffic load also an what the pilot wants to do. But always allow the pilot to make the shortest approach to the runway an move everyone out of their way. It can get super crazy at those critical moments when your telling 13 different people what to do an having to remember their callsigns. Have to get the first responders out there as quickly as possible .

    It’s so unfortunate what happened but could have been a lot worse, even weirder for me personally I flew SW last week from ATX to Orlando an sat in the same area as her an our engine didn’t sound quite right either.

    Definitely thought about it. I want to drive it more before I pull the trigger on the tuner. Although, using just a tune to free up a ridiculous amount of power and torque is a no brainer. I thought about buying a set of F150 Projector headlights but I cant justify that cost :(
