Re: Could my AC be overheating my truck?
AC rule of thumb.
Keeping the evperator as cool as you can is your best friend no matter what! The hotter the eveperator gets the less cooling inside the truck gets. This also puts the pressure inside the ac lines at max that can blow a line are even bog down the compressor which in turn will take more power to run the motor which makes more heat in the engine bay. I think you need a bigger fan to begin with. I would get at least a 2000CFM fan and put it inside the shroud and pull the air through for a better cooling effect. You should have room to do this without hitting the clutch fan.

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.
