Pretty cool to see the before and after pics. One thing I have heard and found out is that they are never done.

Thanks for the comments. Front springs (w/stock spindles) are cut 2 rounds and the rear is bagged and sitting about 1.5" off the frame. I don't drive it more than about 20 miles from home since it is in transition to a step notch in the rear and 2.5 drop spindles and bags in front. I forgot to measure before I started all this...but it was way up there...LOL!

Re: Pics of your pride & joy before and after

The only before pictures is it being painted red the second time. It started life as a green & white truck.

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.

Re: Pics of your pride & joy before and after

Very inspiring thread, great to see all the TLC and blood, sweat and tears has paid off for you guys. Nice trucks, and definitely shows that not all projects can start out in good shape but can end up in a truck that they can be proud of and enjoy. Hope to show my truck in this before and after thread in the future but with all the parts disassembled and in rebuild mode the pictures just wouldn’t be right. Time to get out into the shop and start working.

What kind of backspace do you have on your rims? I'm looking at running some 22s and need some guidance.
