    Oh yeah mine is different. I have the 6.5 diesel the manual transmission so the layout is different.

    mine has the drive shaft support bearing on a separate crossmember behind the torsion bar cross member.

    Realift says that they are designed to work with various size lifts. The bracket measures to relocate about 4.5" of the torsion bar but I have a 6" lift so that means the bar drops closer to the cross member.

    I would recommend reaching out to Realift for their installation instructions. The intructions specify that the notch doesnt need to be done on all models, depending on if you have regular, extended, crew cab, short bed, long bed. My specific extended cab, long bed needed it.

    No the tires fit as is without any rubbing. This would be dependent on how far your wheels stick out also. Also, I havent taken the truck off road yet so there is a very good chance I may get some rubbing once the truck is flexing. The closest area is the front bumper so I may end up trimming it...

    I also ended up getting a fresh set of tires. These are Atturo Trailblade MT in a 35x12.50r17. The tires are surprisingly quiet and balanced really well. They had a lot of great reviews on other forums so I decided to try them out. Plus you can beat $900 for new 35” MT’s installed.

    I finally got around to getting the transmission crossmember notched. Turned out pretty good and only took a few hours of work. I ended up extending the 4” exhaust so that the hump over the torsion crossmember moves backwards as well. also had a shop reroute the crossover pipe at an angle so...

    Sorry I havent been on here in a while. I order the realift from the actual company. I had to email them to place the order as they didnt have a check out system. The tires 35x12.5r17.

    My 99 Tahoe 4wd build..

    Great job on the build so far. Im actually very curious in this corroseal product now. Going to look into doing all of my frame and suspension parts with it.

    You got lucky then because even in the instructions they mention that some trucks may have interference. I considered flattening the pipe in a vice but then I still need my front cross over pipe modified because of the 6” lift so I will have them do it all at once.

    And yes the TB relocation was worth it. I am planning to go to Moab this year and that will keep me from dragging the torsion bars and brackets on some of the tougher trails.

    Unfortunately I don't think that information is fully correct. When I received the RC kit, the subframe drop for the diff and the control arms all measured out to be a 6" drop. When reassembling the torsion bars, I torqued them to the same spec as what I had stock and my total lift came out to...

    Great job on the build. How does the vacuum pump delete with the mechanical wastegate feel? Was yours bad previously? Mine is still working so I'm not sure if I want to do it but since I am planning to get it tuned, I have to decide now.
