Love the 2 doors. Be a beast with the supercharger.

Refreshed the rear end with new 3.73 gears and a true trac differential. I also took this time to remove the slip yoke and shave it down to remove etching , nickel plate .002 oversize and turned down to oem size(didn’t cost anything, I work in aerospace electroplating)

I also converted the rear to disc brakes using a 2003 Silverado donor.

What year suburban did you get the sway bar from? Curious if this might work for my 2wd 2dr Tahoe. What all was involved in getting it bolted in?

I used a late gmt400 suburban sway bar. I think it was like a 98. All I needed was the frame brackets and made my own mounts on the axle. I used a 99 Escalade rear end later on and installed the true trac in it.the Escalade rear had the mounts already from factory

Removed the front diff and replaced it with a low mile unit from an Escalade. I replaced the stub axle bearings and seals while it was out. Reason for swap was the new rear end is 3.73 and the old front was 3.42

I sent the harness out using a service on eBay. They removed all unnecessary wiring and flash the ecu according to my mods and request. I removed the vats(vehicle anti theft system) rear o2 and emissions.

Decided on using the tbss cover since I have the tbss intake. Doesn’t look bad I guess
