Angry Damnit, why did I spend so much on lowering parts...

When I could done like my friend, and been LOOOW and looked TIGHT...
My friend heated his coils and made a flip kit piece, and it's a LOT lower than my truck, and looks 10x better! I KNOW heating the coils is the WORST possible way to lower a truck, but lemme tell ya...it rides literally 10x better than my truck! HOPEFULLY, after I replace my cab mounts, my truck will ride SMOOOOTH...if it doesn't, I'm gonna cut my damn coils!
My friend said all he did was put a 2x4 under each A-arm, so that the A-arms would be 2" above the ground, and heated his coils till the A-arms went down to the blocks...then he was done. Damnit!
Of course, he also has a 245/45 17 up front (17x8 Torq Thrust II wheels) with 255/55 17's out back...so his truck has a pretty mean damn rake...which I don't like all that much...he ASWELL doesn't have Long tube headers...
Sorry guys, just venting...hopefully cab mounts will do the trick...
