Talking Re: Do the "CS" style alternators fit our stock brackets?

I have a nice 1-wire that has been laying around forever cause I have not had the need to install it. Brand new alternator, a little beat up from being moved plate to place though...
Have we been talking on the Chevy talk forum also.
In my opinion a one wire alternator isn't as good as most think. At idle it's not even putting anything back into the battery unless it's been modified even more.
Mad electric is very helpful on this subject.

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.
