Re: French em

Member Livrat has a slick way of frenching in the side marker lights. There are threads on it here somewhere...

Type the word "frenched" or "frenching" into the Google search box at the top of this page, click in the circle in front of "67-72chevytrucks.com", and click on the Google button and you will have a days worth of reading material....

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.

I had mine as a power, but the cheap aftermarkets kept breaking. Get a good one like a caddy it will last a while.
