Well I got the brakes al swapped out. It didn't go as smooth as I had hope but I gotter done!
The original booster and master cylinder was all standard fittings, the new one was all metric fittings. Had to put new lines down to the a arm also.
While I was doing it I went a head and swapped the rear rubber hose tee out for the stainless one I've had now for over a year.
Everything is tight with no leaks so far. Going for a short ride and check everything again.
Had to use the old valve since the brake switch wouldn't fit the new one. I may order one if I can find one. O-Reilly's didn't have it and couldn't order it.
If anybody has a lead on one LMK.

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. Last edited by Andy4639; 09-28-2014 at 05:51 PM.
