Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

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.

Re: Show us your shop.

no good pictures of my shop,but i did have an idea when i was cutting my bed down.Im gonna try to find a junk bed with a good tail section,cut it down like the pic. below,and try to hang it from the wall.I think it would be cool to have a functioning tail gate,and use it like a bench seat(pad and cover the inside of the tailgate,and the wall,so when you let the tailgate down,it looks like the bench seat in the truck,if that makes sense).I also want to wire the taillights and side markers to light up from a seperate switch,and paint it to match my truck(when its done).Just not sure if,and how,i can make it work yet.

Re: Show us your shop.

Well, since you asked...yesterday I became the official renter of my new "play ground"...

For the next couple months I'll be using the space to liquidate (CL Yard sale, of sorts) all the stuff I've accumulated
from my folks, my departed husband and his folks plus all the crap I just had to save for ... sometime.

Fear not...my collected truck goodies are staying.





Here's pics from yesterday and today...
Stuff from storage getting layed out on tables..
Best of all; got in the TV (Thanks to Livrat & Bro for the help unloading) and
Halloween is over...evil elves get stored.

Re: Show us your shop.



Started out a 30' diameter grain bin. I cut a 10' high 12' wide door in it. It was 24' from the slab to the top of the walls. I went up 12' and put in a floor. It has a wall hugging stairwell going up to the upstairs and room for lots of parts. You can get two trucks inside and close the door but it's a bit tight. It is better suited for one with lots of room. I added the 24' X 26' slab and awning for a little more room. It works for me.
