    Alright, I finally got around to putting in my HBS 2.5" Leveling Kit.
    It was actually easier than I thought it would be, 2 of my friends came to help me and all together it probably took 2.5 hours, and we were taking our time doing it.
    The front now sits about a half inch to 1 inch lower than the rear so I am happy with the results, my CV axles however are not very happy about it as they are at pretty serious angles now, but I guess thats the price you pay.

    I also painted my F-150 emblems all black. Im trying to slowly get rid of all the chrome on the truck. I think they turned out alright. I want to paint the F150 letters white to really make them look professional.

    My Edge Evolution should be at my house today as long as the shipping didnt get messed up. Any tips on setting it up or what level to run on all the time?

    Also got a new Pioneer DEH-X6500BT on amazon for $100.
    Everyone always gives me **** when Im wiring stuff because im color blind, but I wired that SOB like a champ.
    So far its a nice radio, i bought the speaker adapters because i figured on doing an entire new sound system but the factory speakers sound good with this Pioneer.

    Finally took my truck on a long drive the other day. 4 hours all highway driving, i got 21 miles per gallon average. The Edge Evolution really makes my truck perform well.

    I used half a tank of gas on the trip and after i ran it down to my last quarter with some regular driving, i averaged 19.5 mpg. So i think it was pretty close.
