Look at the 'NO LIMIT" shock relocator kit. It is a nice kit and helps with rear body roll as well since they are mounted outside the frame rails. A good fab person could easly do this them selves. The link is to the kit.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
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.
