Replacing gauge cluster with aftermarket gauge cluster?

So I took out my original gauge cluster. The bundle of wires that plugs into the back of the factory gauge cluster? Do I take all that out or just cut the conector off and figure out where all the wires are running and connect the new wires to them? There sure is a mess of wires under the dash? Thanks for any help!

You could tap into the wires & leave the connecter on there. If you ever wanted to go back to stock you could.

Here is a diagram of the connector and where each wire goes and color. It should help you determine what is what.

That's what I did. Just in case I ever go back to orignal but I doubt I ever will.

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.

I have all the books to these trucks and yet I fail to just take a look at them to find this stuff. Thanks a bunch!
