Andy, be careful running at temps lower than stock. You want your engine to get hot enough to boil off condensation and other water/stuff that's gotten into the oil.

Truck runs anywhere from 180-200 depending on the outside weather and traffic. It hasn't had any problems up until this past week the water pummp crapped out on it. Got new one and new thermastat along with a new steam port connection on the heater hose so I don't have to drill and tap the water pump no 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.
