How do you get the e Brake cable out through the frame?I have disconnected it from the rear cable and wanting to leave it attached to the cab.Is this possible?Any suggestions.

No problem. The cable should have a union along the trailing arms. Loosen the brake cable adjusting nut up under the truck. Drivers side by transmission at the y connection. Then undo the union and c clip for the cables on each side.

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.
