Yea I've got the Energy Suspension ones in black already I just haven't done them yet so was wondering.

Looks like I might not be doing this myself, lol.

Wonder how much time/cost it will be to do them in a pro-shop?

I think the best comparison would be the L31 since it's the 5.7L Vortec engine so would be the same beast.

It might reset if you intercept the power for the module. Using the TCC wire might be an option as well. Bypassing the brake switch so that it remains unbroken might also disable the system. This might be dangerous if the cruise control is enabled ,as pressing on the brakes would not disable it. We...

Damn, I was hoping for something I could switch on/off without cycling the system.

The idea of having it switch automatically when in 4LO is pretty nice as well.

Nope, it's all bolt on. There's a 3/8" steel plate that spans the two frame horns and is drilled out for 4 bolts on each side (skid plate holes and tow hook holes). It's drilled out for the winch footprint as well. I'll probably have them powdercoated too. The fairlead mounts will be drilled to mou...

Bobble , if you run separate air lines to each shock you will reduce rear end sway even farther and gain more stability. I'd like to suggest adding a 1/4 turn valve to one of the lines. Open it to fill the shocks equally. Close the valve to separate them. For offroad they need to be connected to al...
