Smile 1 year 3 months now finished

One year and three months later the truck is finished. I did not intend on taking it all apart but that is what happened. It is on the road and I am enjoying it.

I wanted to give you a few picture of before and after. Thanks for all the help and advice along the way.

It will take a few pages but here they are.


Merry Christmas!!

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.

WOW! 1 year and 3 months? Great job in a short time! When you compare what you have now to the before pictues, it should really give you a sense of accomplishment.

Thanks for the scripture verse!
