Re: Interesting site for LS base

Why are you going to replace the rockers? On every hi-po LS I've built, I've always used the stock rockers/trunnions and they work great. My current cam is 233/239 .634/.621" and its still using the stock rockers. Zero problems.

Cam, hardened pushrods, and a good dual spring is what I'd do.

Give Brian Tooley Racing a call, and he can get you set up with a complete package...
Might as well go right to the source, because many of the "cam experts" go to him for parts anyway, and he can spec you a great cam.

I was going to the roller's just because I have to build them anyway. If I get bare heads. This kind of stuff is way over my head. I have no idea what I should are shouldn't do. That's why I ask so many questions before hand. I wished I would have taken automotive classes back in school.

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.
