Those would look hot. Sometimes the sacrifice towards heavy is worth it.

Yeah, I think they are like 2lbs heavier

They are 16lbs and the slips are like 13.8lbs I think.

Find a landscaping yard that sells mulch and stuff.. they usually have scales. Toss them 5-10 bux. . I'm sure they wouldn't care..

The disadvantages of being lowered... I can't get of my apartment's driveway to go get something to eat because it's flooded. FML.

I doubt the 2 inches you're lowered really makes a difference. .

You're right as far as it actually making a difference for water height, but since the driveway is on an incline I have to take it really slow and I would've definitely had to submerge some parts for longer than I was comfortable with.

It was a kind of a flash flood situation though. Only lasted about 30 minutes and I was able to go get some bbq after, just delayed me a bit. Now it's nice and sunny outside. Gotta love Texas.

Yep, it can be a toad-strangler that you think will last forever, the flood waters rise, but then it quits and the water drains off. Glad you got your bbq!
