March Performance/power steering question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm having a hard time trying to get a power steering hose to fit. There is very little room between the head and the back of the power steering pump to get a fitting in. Any suggestions would be great. I'll put a pic up in a sec of how much space there is.

Yea that's tight. I suggest taking it back off and putting another fitting like shown in then mount it with hoses already installed.

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.
