Thumbs down Not a GOOD Weekend

I started out changing my intake gaskets, because they were leaking on the passenger side pretty bad. While the camero bolts are all star heads with no way of retorquing them after everything is back on, so I decided I would change them out to regular bolt heads, well let's say it was interesting. The plenium tubes didn't want to go by the middle two bolts so I had to take them back out. I left the front passenger one out till I hooked the compressor back up, well guess what! I had to take the bolt out of the plenium so it would line up and start. Ok that's done so I'm going along and start on the destributor, I was tightening the coil back in and guess what! I broke it, I don't now why it broke but it snaped right off. Heat maybe, who knows. Ok I go get a new cap and I hook everything up so I thought, finish up add water do everything I thought. Start the thing up and nothing, so I try it again thinking the pump needs to fill up again. Never got it to crank so I do the look and see what was wrong. I didn't hook the hot wire and tack wire up. I fired it up and booooom, blew the mufflers slap off of the truck. My wife and kids are all out side behind the truck, needless to say they were suprised as me when it blew. It started though. Now I have a oil leak at the front where the oil sending unit is for the fuel pump. I guess I' not done yet. Enough, had to vent and rest a little bit.

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.
