Lowered the truck

It now sits about 4" lower than stock, while creating a more aerodynamic shape in the back:

That was about 1/3 of the drifted snow that I shoveled off the sidwalk infront of my work. It was 22" deep for half of it, the other half was only 8" deep, all of packed, drifted snow. I have lots of traction though. Forgot to add, that is an 8' box. Somewhere under there are 6 sandbags, a tie down strap, 3 4L jugs of used oil, and 2 4L jugs of used antifreeze.

Holy crow that's a lot of shoveling.

'Aught to just about do ya for traction though... ; ]

Boy I'm glad I drive a car that has it's bulk over the 'rears'. { : ]

WOW! some how (global warming is my guess) still 40's-50's here in Iowa, last week we had a couple days in the 60's didnt even need coats! I have a feeling when we do eventually get hit, it will be pretty hard.
