They look good but it's not what most would prefer. The differences in metal will cause it to eat away faster in the long run.
180-195 t doesn't mean your truck will run at that temp. It's when it opens and lets the water flow. It's a good starting point but some of the cheaper ones may not fully open at stated temp it may not open til 200*
If it's a 195* stat it will see 200* easy and even more maybe before it opens fully.
180* should open a little cooler but again it's a estimate.

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.
