I'm trying to sell a lot of stuff that I have sitting around to help fund the rebuild, fuel system, wiring/ ecm and transmission. My short term goal is just to get it all in primer and running. This would be my first swap of this nature and I plan to do it with my 11 year old son. It will be a learning experience I'm sure. All I have for the 6.0 is the engine and intake.

Per this, Go with the 71 frame and your way a head of the game. More wheel choices and you have the disc brakes and drums already there no need to swap it all over to the old frame.

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.
