Can a brake booster be mounted directly to the firewall without a bracket unnecessarily pushing it out?

Re: boosted

Yes, but it will interfere with column shift linkage.

Re: boosted

I've got a Lokar floor mount shifter with my TH350, so I should be good, I guess. I was thinking that maybe the plunger shaft would be shorter and that would somehow not have enough leverage to give good power braking. Thanks

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.

Talking Re: boosted

I bought the copy a couple of weeks ago on the way to work on nights. I remember seeing it.

Here is a bracket that a board member makes that moves it closer to the firewall.
