I can do some stuff. But I know what I *can't* do. I don't know how to do that correctly.

Polishing is an art...Especially dodging those "on top of the clearcoat"
stripes.

The cover it has been under is a good one, but it's going south now.
Needs some shine from a pro.

Pro job: $250. Ouch. Made the appointment. There goes my gas money.
Mine was $150.00! I thought it was high but after watching him do his magic I was very pleased with it. He started at 8am this morning and was almost 1PM when he finished.
He washed the truck and cleaned the tires and wheels. Polished the lip of the wheels and then touched up the front of the hood, bumper and a couple of other spots. He did a three step job. He used a rag instead of the clay bar made to do the same as the clay but he can rinse it out every so often to get the grit out of it. Then polished and sealed it.

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.
