If you don’t mind me asking, how much did the reloctors cost? I too want some traction bars but i am gonna build my own.
Something similar to this.

Are you doing the SAS or the IFS relocation?
I didn't install my 6" procomp but I have serviced a lot of it.
I am curious to see how your steering cross member comes together. I don't care for the procomp version

im goin with a superlift, its a diff drop kit no knuckles. not sas! that would be sweet tho lol. think the pro comp looks really nice but from what iv read its a middle ground and expensive. thats why i went with superlift in the end. i couldve spent the 2000 on a pro comp but the superlift was 1400 or so with tax
fyi i bought the fabtech dual hoop kit aswell. i wanna see if it will work out or if the pro comp dual hoop is better

My truck came with the pro comp so I didn't get a choice there and honestly I agree, they make it look shiny and nice in their pictures but there are definitely things I don't like about it and they don't really stand behind their warranty on their shocks.

I actually bought the longer rancho 9000s and I like them for the value. Long term I think I'll get some remote resivour fox shocks built for the front. I prefer the longer single shock that stays mounted to the lower control arm vs the dual hoop mounted to the upper control arm.

345 shipped i think. i got them primed. im gonna paint mine red. im think black and red would like nice and wouldnt take much time. im in no rush to start the lift. i just wanna learn what im doing and whats the best route for a daily driver who wants a lift.

just got off the phone with sdtruckspring and they said the superlift is shipping it out on monday, the fabtech kit ships in a week. i have to say sdtruck is way better then performance lift, who basically said we cant help you. but if u look at performancelifts website they advertise all these parts they cant get.
im also trying to find adual stabilizer set up

Thats not too bad they will definitely be worth it.

I really like my shackle flip from off road design. It nets about 4" of lift. You could then add a leaf or a small block.

If you had a Suburban I have some lift springs for it that have been re-arched but the Suburbans have a shorter leaf pack by a couple of inches.
