    Tow Dolly thoughts/experiences/opinions

    Just wondering if anybody has used a tow dolly before to tow a front wheel drive car. They are significantly cheaper to rent but I'm not sold on their reliability yet. I'll need it to tow about 2000 miles and I definitely do not want to do 55 mph with it. I'd be on the road for weeks!

    Has anyone ever experienced snow or water buildup on their vararams. I'm wondering if this is just a fluke occurrence or if anyone else has had an issue with it? I live in Pennsylvania and wouldn't want to have to switch it out every winter. Thanks for any input.

    I am going to go with bilstein 5100's up front and compliment them in the rear with bilsteins as well, and add some rear coil spacers to keep somewhat of a rake.
