@ $1000.00 for a new set it maybe a while too!
Hey Andy, it is a pain to hook it up but driving any distance in the ramp is rough compared to riding in a newer truck with a nice ride and ice cold a/c.

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.

Thumbs up Re: Anyone ever convert a ramp truck to an enclosed hauler?

That's pretty cool sir! I could go for that. You would have a extra storage area for a vehicle too!
