Re: ls swap throttle linkage

Need more details, such as year of truck, intake manifold you are using, throttle body, etc.

For my swap I used the stock Silverado throttle cable and bracket.

Thumbs up Re: ls swap throttle linkage

Not 100% sure but mine is a Lokar I think. Used factory bracket for it.

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.

Not to sound like an a$$ but if you are asked for pictures and you don't provide any you may not get much help. I just did my '67 Chevy with stock pedal and may be able to provide some assistance but I don't have a clue what your stock assembly looks like on the engine side of the firewall.....

The breather hose from the throttle body to the Passenger valve cover is missing, you should put one on there.
