Leaf spring control

On the plus side, the 4" drop axle, and a little less air in the tires, allowed me to...

Mid-trip update: Impreza towing Boler

Well, from Edmonton to Red Deer, AB the towing has been acceptable. I definitely think that my current setup could be improved but I'm less worried after 150km. I'm able to maintain 110km/h...
