Washed and cleaned my new tow truck
Got her spit shined and the added springs out of the rear. Now it sits right in the rear. But I still may lower it some more.

How's it set with the trailer hooked up? I wouldn't remove any more leafs from the springs until I tried it with the trailer.......

I think I'd try it for a trip Blake, if it sits level, it may be about the correct ride height then. Looks good, in my opinion.

I pulled Reds travel trailer to the bash with it and it has a good bit of tounge weight. It handled it fine.

Blake, The Load leveler will make a difference you would not believe also. Especially on those interstates at the bridge and road transitions. I love mine,make sure you try it since you already have one.

Re: Washed and cleaned my new tow truck
Guys these heavy nosed trailers you really need a weight distributing hitch. The hitches are rated for half as less without one..............really puts a strain on the hitch etc.
