Not pulling the heads just the manifolds. They both have one stud broke off so I can't tighten the exhaust up good. I got another set with good studs to replace them with. I'll be buying new bolts as well.

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.
