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.

Re: Odessy Batteries vs Optima battery

they are both pretty good, i would like to hear what people have to say about both..

Personaly i have a red optima thats 8 years old in my race truck, i had a red optima in high school and it flew out of my truck when i jumped it and i still drove a few miles before i noticed it was gone,

even after that, i used it for 4 months with massive cracks and 1 cell completly gone, and 2 exposed....

Thumbs up Re: Odessy Batteries vs Optima battery

I use the odessy in my drag cart (6 of them) and they work well and they are lite. I'm not knocking the Optima just letting people know about the odessy batteries.
The odessy battery can be discharged also unlike the Optima it will kill it faster being done this way the odessy want care.
