Yes as in very first start up. My friend who helped me build this and my 71 C 10 37 years ago is a professional builder also and he has more knowledge than any one person I know except one. When it comes to Chevy engines are anything on a vehicle.
This was a test run to check it before setting the sheet metal.
He also went through GM training facility training under the only man I know that knew more than him. The best mechanic GM had in the 70's, he was head instructor in Charlotte NC for 9 years, my dad who retired with 35 years with GM and is 94 now.

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.
