Here are a few pics of my install. I put this 87 motor in the truck back in 89. I love it. 305 HO with 700-R4 trans with 4 core and coolier. Have the torque switch on the dash so if I pull something I can leave it unlocked. I made the cold air box out of a caddy box with 2 90 from lowes. Sucks 4" of air in front of the radator. Street & performance did the chip for me since I'm running a Ferio V-6 computer on it. (old school) It runs good and get's 18MPG on the road.

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.
