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.

Looks good Andy. I would replace the bolts with some polished button heads to complete the look thought. JMHO.

That is already in the works. Just have to find the right threads. I did add a little rubber gasket material under them to keep from scaring the paint for now.

Re: One step closer!

All that gorgeous work to keep the engine bay clean and you went with flex hose for the intake?

Just have to bust your chops haha, that cover looks awesome! I've been thinking of something to do with mine for a while, but nothing has really caught my eye just yet.

Yea I know! I can't seem to find any Chrome, polished S/S are aluminum that I can make the right bends to fit. I may have to change the cold air box. But it does the job for now. I've got to pull the radiator and have it fixed + install the shroud I had made for it. I may try and do something then.
