Since there are different shaft diameters, it would be better to confirm the bearing ID vs. an online source saying "it will fit".
Agree, I looked at several sites. 3/4" ID = 19mm which is a tad under 3/4".
OD 1" = 25.4mm. I think if you could find one it would work but finding it is seeming to be the problem. All the 3/4" ID bearings I found had a 1-3/8" OD.

I chatted with Lily bearing tech support. He said he would be back in touch with me Monday on a answer to this bearing.

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.
