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.

IMO, you can't beat a lokar. I have a 700R4 w/ 16" Lokar floor mount shifter. Expensive as hell, but worth it

B&M has one for trucks. I put one in my truck last year and it looks pretty good. I don't have any pics but I'm attching a link so you can see what it looks like and the part # (not trying to promote Summit...)

Does it matter what year? I have a mid 80s truck and a early 90s truck with B&M shifters.

I have a 23" Gennie Ill be putting in my panel. I think it will look pretty cool. I dont remember whether its Gennie or Lokar that makes a pretty nice looking mid size shift handle. Its sort of flat stock with holes drilled in it. Probably on the websites.
