Got insurance back on the ramp so I started working on it again. Took the old manifolds off. Both of them only had 2 studs holding the exhaust pipes on. I started the process of taking them off!
Man what a nightmare. Both of them ended up fighting me. The passenger side only one bolt but the drivers side had 2. Both center bolts where bent opposite of each other. I finally got enough room to cut them off and just barely did have enough stud to back them out with! I tapped all the holes and cleaned them good afterwards. I also did new spark plugs since I broke one on the passenger side getting it off. So it should be good to go by lunch time I hope.
Next will be installing the 2 front tires then the tilt column.

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.
