Was your truck built on a cab and chassis style frame? If so, you would need the # TGMFK35C for suspension enhancement. An easy way to determine is to measure the outside to outside dimension of your truck frame. If that distance is 34 you have a cab and chassis truck. There are only Timbrens available for this configuration.
If you do not have a cab and chassis you would instead want the Air Lift kit part # AL57128 as it is the most similar to the product you mentioned. Or, the Timbren kit part # TGMFK35C that I mentioned already would fit this style too. I like the Timbrens because they don't require any bag inflation at any point.
