**** like this drives me completely nuts, because my truck didn't originally have one when I bought it and no one had an answer for me when I was asking.
I guess there are only two more options for cables with a coil spring rearend, so I guess I'm now down to a 50-50 shot of possibly ordering the correct one on my next order. I just hate wasting money like this on things that should be simple to do |
Sorry to hear that the cable didn't work as you wanted. I'm not sure why it wouldn't work unless there is a difference between a 67 hand cable and a 71 foot cable.
One thing also to look at. Is the cable in the right fire wall hole? If it's not it could make it short. You could even drill a new hole maybe.

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.
