I learned a couple of things while doing it also. Put the truck on the ground and it needs to be just like it will ride. (Derections tell you this also) Place the passenger side in first and I used a strap that I use to tie down stuff in the trailer (Rachet type) to pull the bed over to get it all lined up good. I measured and got a 1/8" differance between the two sides.Then stick the drivers side in and bolt it up tight.
I wish you all could have seen my 14 year old's face tring to torque those trailing arm bolts to 215 ft.lbs. I'll have pictures this afternoon.

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. Last edited by Andy4639; 01-08-2008 at 12:37 PM.
