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.

Griffin Radiator, ~$700 direct from Griffin, cheaper if you buy from Summit Racing.

My truck came with a late model serpentine setup but I swapped a jeep electric cooling fan for cheap. See my build thread for more details.

Re: Pics of your radiator and electric fan set-ups please

No pics of mine, but I used stock replacement Ford Windstar fans on my factory radiator. They fit really well and keep her nice and cool. Even in Vegas in August with the ac on...

Re: Pics of your radiator and electric fan set-ups please

Here's my set up in my 67. 4 core brass/copper rad with an electric fan set up from a 2004 maxima, dual fan set up in case I decide to run a/c later. I used an aluminum angle iron to mout the upper part and fastened two "L" brackets on the bottom.

The fan setup is for a Camaro that Hawks supplied. I think it was like $300.00 came with everything you need.
