It cooled off a lot here this afternoon but is really muggy. Go outside and you are almost wet from the humidity.

I can't complain about the weather one bit. It was over 30 at the lake for several days in a row. I swam so much I'm still sore. Would have liked to get more time on the salt chuck, but its only the start of summer.

I did. I arrived at around 8 am and got out of there shortly after 1 pm. It took quite awhile. Sitting in a campsite as I write this.

If they didn't take coffee and lunch breaks it would have been quicker.

Zip have you got your front leveling kit yet? Reason I'm asking is while looking for some shocks I came across a leveling kit for the super duty and just wondering. It even happens to be on sale. http://www.interioroffroad.com/index.php?page=specials

Thanks for the link. I got mine last week. I went with a procomp hanger kit. Thought it would be easier than the springs. I did the spring kit on my last truck. It cost me $402.00 plus tax. Came with hangers, track bar reclocation and 4 shocks. The spring kit would have been $650.00 plus tax. I bought mine through Lordco and sometimes they cut me a pretty good deal.

Hey guys, long time no talk to. How has everyone been? I have been really busy. My girls were home for a visit and I am now working full time so not much time to be on here anymore. Any word from Sedly, how is he doing?
