Thumbs up Re: One or two ducts to center vent?

They are saying "A similar modification was illustrated by GM back in 1972 to fix the problem of poor center vent volume." Does anybody have any experience with this one-hose-to-the-center-vent idea vs. the factory design?
I plugged off the drivers side for 2 reasons. 1 the speakers I use in the center grill made it impossible to get the hose there. 2 I read the article about plugging one side off. To be honest I can't tell you if it did anything are not for the flow.

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.
