Just some options...you could purchase the tools, and even the floor jack, and jackstands, for less than the cost of what you would pay a shop to do the job, and then you own them. Then, you can do this in the parking lot of your apartments. The only time I even used the air compressor was to remove the wheels, and that's easily done with a 1/2" drive ratchet. You don't have to have an air compressor to do this job.
Or, you can pay a shop several hundred dollars ( or more), and learn nothing.
Or, you can drive to Houston and rent my shop, and tools, and do the job yourself, at your pace, and take pride in doing the job yourself.
Or, you can drive to Houston, and pay me to do the job for you. Make a weekend out of it, drop your truck off, and come back in 5 hours.
Or, keep looking for a forum member in Dallas to help you out. Iv'e seen a few on here.
No matter what you decide to do, remember you will need an alignment asap, mine was $68 w/ no appointment, and had to wait approx. 2-2.5 hrs befor I drove away.
