Sound Deadening and New Upholstery!

Well i figured i should quiet the pickup down a bit and put some new skin on the seat and also door panels.
Upholstery was bought from www.ricksupholstery.com very easy to work with and fit everything to my needs and wants.
Sound deadening was fatmat's Rattletrap 80mil. bought two 50ft^2 rolls and put two layers on floor and one layer on each door plus a layer behind the gas tank. used around 70 or so sq.ft. It is now MUCH MUCH quieter going down the road, i couldn't believe it at first. you can barely tell there is a motor in the thing. upholstery makes the ride much more comfortable and looks great. would recommend them to anyone.

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.

I haven't noticed any difference but i haven't driven it more than 20 miles at once since i put it back together. The noise for sure went down though!
