What about lift springs? Do they make any for 2wd rams? Or what about front springs from a 2wd 2500 or 3500?

I'm more of a fan of a torch. You don't need the fancy cutting torch with Acetalyne and Oxygen, just one of those little propane tanks will do the job with a tip on it. Heat it up and that can do wonders.

This is a cheap little tool that can pull you out of a bind:

FIRE!!! Thats all you need You know one of those little green cylindrical propane tanks that are used for all kinda of stuff? Like grills, lanterns, ect. Just get the fitting for the top that makes it a torch. Does the same thing as Acyetalyne+O2, just doesn't get quite as hot probably.

something against going out and buying a **** ton of air tools..

if you're going to be using them you're gonna have to get a compressor and tank(s) those bitches are expensive if you get big ones, which means storage space. also at 17 i remember not being able to find a job, not having money to burn, and once i did get a job that money got burned really quick.

now not having a job again, save the money. if you're gonna head off to college save it for the drinking and other misc. stuff. trust me you're gonna need every spare penny you can pull out of the jar.

Yea, It's a nut splitter. Sorry I wasn't quick enough. crazy1snow was right. Don't go buying alot of expensive stuff like an air compressor and air tools until you have a house to keep them in. It also doesn't hurt to have a wife to **** off when you buy and use them either.
