I'm actually close to replicating it myself (4" drop springs, No Limit relocators, helper bags). Are you primarily trying to get a lower stance when you park it, or have you found some shortcomings with your setup (i.e. looking for a smoother ride)?

Thank you, sorry my laptop crashed just got back going.
I just wanted a better stance for shows is all. I'm really having a hard time pulling the trigger on the air ride because of the fact the truck rides so good now. In fact I just took the front end apart and added the front helpers to it for a better firmer feel. I bought them almost a year ago and just never installed them. The truck drives great and now with the front helpers it even feels better. I used seperate lines because I feel like I will never add air to the fronts in less they loose some. I mounted the shcrader valves in the spoiler up front and you want even notice it unless you really look for them.

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.
