I don't even want to think about what it's going to cost to fill mine up at 4.15/gallon.

Ouch and I thought I had it bad drivin an hour each way to work. I've gotten used to it though. Its something you come to terms with for good pay I drive about 550 miles a week. The thing I hate the most is putting the high miles on my truck. It just hit 120k a couple weeks ago.

I drive to one home on Friday nights, then back to the other on Sunday night. It's about 130 miles one way, the commute daily to work, about 60 round trip. We live out in the sticks, so to get to stores or a movie, its a 40 mile round trip. I have 124,000 on her now.

Im not complaining about my drive ever again! It can be worth it to live out in the sticks though. I'm not a city guy.

How did you level your truck? I like that look; does it sag much if you put weight in the back?

I used a Ground Force 2" drop shackle kit on the rear. You would never know it was lowered as far as load and towing.

We live in the East Texas woods during the week, then the city on the weekends. At least until we get a house built. I love it out in the woods.

Here are some pictures of the place in East Texas.
