Randy is more knowledgeable than me on this subject I know.
I did say it a basic info for the GM tilts though. Yes it's for the 63 and up tilts. Not really meaning it was for the trucks but for most of us guy's we own multi vehicles. I'm installing a 64 SS Impala tilt in my 64 as we speak. So thought it was a good thing to pass along for the ones who would have use for it.

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.
