I have a Lowe's card at 42% of my available credit. My other revolving lines are under 20%

If you can apply money towards paying down your revolving utilization, then your FICO score should improve.    Try to get all CCs reporting a zero balance, except for one card, which should ideally show less than 9% utlilization.    This is generally the best starting point for optimizing your revolving utilization.
