If you strip the wiring out from the old regulator back toward the fuse block you can just plug into the alternator and do away with the jumpers and all that mess.

Here is how I ran my aux batteries for the winch.

I bought those cables from Harbor frieght and ran the red one to my 12 volt contactor under the truck. Then the black one to the battery. I also have a air compressor hooked to it also all ran off relays.
The contactor is controlled by a dash mounted switch to charge the batteries and fill the tank up with a pressure switch to shut it off at 120lbs.

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. Last edited by Andy4639; 10-13-2018 at 03:01 PM.
