Re: Under column wire?

Look to see if the back up lights are coming on per the schematic. I circled it you will have to down load it and blow it up.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!

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.

Re: Under column wire?

Reverse lights, your column is missing the neutral safet/back up light switch.
It mounts in the slot on top of the column, part of the slot is shown in your picture.

It's the one off the electrical section.
The connection just left of the turn signal connector.
2-Green wires are back up and 2 purple wires are neutral safety.

Awesome thanks guys. Off to get new toggle switch.

Re: Under column wire?

Or just install the NSS/backup light switch on the column and plug it in. Your NSS (purple wires, same-ish type plug) must have a jumper wire in it if it's not plugged in to the column switch.

Re: Under column wire?

If it's a manual three speed (on the tree) then all there is, is a reverse switch. The neutral safety switch is only for 3 speed auto columns.
