Re: boyd coddington,s upolster quote .......

I hate to say this, but that's why our hobby of building cars & trucks has gotten in the shape it is now.
A good paint job 20 years ago was $1000.00.
Now just to get someone... anyone to paint a truck is $3000.00 or more easy. I'm not saying anything about the work at all in no fashion just the price.
Where is there anyway $10,000 to $12000.00 worth of work in a cab of one of our trucks!
This is why our hobby has come to you do it yourself or don't do it at all inless you have a nice fat bank account.

I could care less about his name. I would rather say I did it, or at least say I found someone who did it for $2000.00 and did just as good, if not better job.
I have done pretty much everything to my truck except paint it. If I knew how and had the place to paint it I would do that also.
It may not win a car show but at least I could say I did it instead of my money.
I'm not knocking money, just how it's used. If people pay this kind of money for interior work then in the future it's going to cost us more!

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.
