I have the factory AC setup with a late model compressor along with a condensor and acumalator for 134-A. I put mine up against anybodies for the cooling effect. Mine runs as cool as you need it. It runs 38 degree's on 90 degree days here in South Carolina.
You can permanently close off the cowl vent and the factory AC does the same as the aftermarket units. It re-circulates the cab air and keeps it nice and cool. this is how mine is setup.

It sucks not being able to hear! LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB! After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs. Last edited by Andy4639; 03-13-2014 at 01:13 PM.
