damn! you got an already LS swapped, lifted, 'tons, clean paint step side? what else is there to do to it?
 
Got a few dents to fix,get ac up and running,add a rear gas tank,only have a single 14 gallon right now.just a few odds and ends.always wanted a step side,now I got one.
 
I know its a mixed opinion but Im putting a Sky Panhard bar kit on tonight to see if it helps with my on road manners
 
got the Sky panhard bar installed,drives much better,no leaning around corners,zero bump steer and no frame flex and shackle flex when turning while driving slow.Everything lined up and am dead on the same degrees as my drag link.


 
That things beautiful! Good information on the panhard, I may have to see if they have one for my setup. I want some of those little XML's so bad.
 
If that had a manual transmission in it, it would be pretty close to perfect.

Nice to cruise with a cup of coffee ,but some days it would be nice to row through some gears :thumb:
