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. |

Just, drive it. Maybe a little lower, but keep 15in wheels.

Modest static drop, and then go do some car/truck shows with it..... being around other car/truck lovers always revives the passion.

I would drop it 3", put on a nice set of wheels and tires (I like the torque thrust myself) and drive it.
Must have a good healthy motor for a 750 carb on it bet it runs out pretty good. Posted via Mobile Device |
