As far as the aftermarket boosters...I guess they are fine, I put one on my 72 dodge dart this spring, works fine, remarkably similar linkage to our trucks, kind of sloppy tolerances compared to factory but it does work good, again on that car I just moved the master cylinder forward, installed the booster and put the master cylinder back on it, took about an hour to do and no bleeding of the brakes.

Thats all I did was take it loose from the fire wall and brake pedal added the booster setup. Now have brakes with very little foot pressure. I had to take the clip off the frame where it held the brake lines in place to move the master cylinder forward enough to mount it on the booster.

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.
