Post R134A Conversion question

How well do our trucks take this conversion? How does it cool at idle? My main concern of course is that I will get enough air flow across the condensor at idle to keep the head pressure within reason.

Cool

I have had mine changed over for about 3yrs. now and have not had one problem with it, and it does take a little longer to cool, but it stays there afterwards also.

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.
