We all have our days, don't worry about it.

Welcome to the forum!

I hope you installed new shocks and the proper suspension components to go with that lift.

I apologize if I sounded like your dad, or a parent at all. I see many guys all over my area here that jack their trucks up huge and don't touch the suspension, and then they complain that "man, this thing wears out all the time, Chevy sucks" or "Dodge sucks" or "Ford sucks" when they're just being idiots about it and have no clue what they're doing. For a moment I was afraid you were one of them, and its down right refreshing to have another member on this forum that does things right.
