Yes just swap the one in the left to the one on the right. It should work fine. That's what I did anyway I had several of the standard ones so I just took one a part and used it in the tilt one.

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.

It pulls right out. Red piece has a raised ring for friction fit.
Don't loose the spring!

Re: Got a ? For randy 500

Did he have to move the NSS up the column? I bought a column from you a while back but have not installed it yet. Just wondering if I might have to do this mod.

That was the hole idea.it would of looked out of place if it was painted thank you for a great colum. If any one is on the fence about Randy's rebuilds I would not hesitate. Thing workes like its brand new.
