Cool

I don't know for sure for 18" wheels but I just put 17" on my 71 and they work fine. 17" by 8" I've lowered mine 2" up front, and 3" in rear. I have no complants at all.

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.
