Ended up having to leave the truck in the driveway since it and my garage/truck smells like its been dipped in a vat of gas! Though I did get to use my xmas present, a LWB Truck cover. She is all tucked in for being outside in the cold ;-)
Note to self: When working on the fuel lines, don't start doing this in the garage - do it all outside in the driveway. Stupid idiot  |
Next time use a set of vise grips on the rubber hose to clamp the fuel off coming into the pump. Are wherever you can clamp it. Are take the line loose at tank to stop 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.
