Thanks for the information Wayne! I didn't really plan on telling them that
it was lowered anyway...unless there was an absolute need to, that is. I've
taken several pictures and have all of the necessary documentation to prove
that the truck was lowered and how much it cost me just in case. My rates
actually DID drop in half when I turned 21, however the accident surcharges
on my policy kinda negated that. Apparently I should be paying about $100 a
month for the coverage I've got now. Sucks doesn't it?
