Phase 1 complete

I have to start out by thanking everyone for all of the information and help posted in these forums. Any time I hit a roadblock, I was able find answers to my questions by searching. Next phase will be an LQ4 swap, so I'm sure I'll actually have to post some questions for that one.
It's amazing the difference in how this thing handles. I have a Chevy Colorado with the sport package that I thought handled well for a truck, but the C10 is waaaaay better.

ECE 4/6
ECE front sway bar
Complete replacement of all steering components
Brakes overhaul including new lines
20" Ridler 645s
8.5" front 10" rear
Toyo Proxes II 295/40/20, 255/40/20

Nah, IMHO shortbeds are over-rated. Plus my fabrications skills to tackle that kind of job are probably not up to par.

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.
