I like the front bumper, great work!

Thanks, I have a great idea for the back bumper, its going to be similar to the front with a swing out spare tire carrier integrated into it

Dont you just love when you think your done with something then you realize your not.... I was just looking at yhe stovk 10 bolt feom my Tahoe and realized I forgot to fabricate and weld on the sway bar mounts.. so look's like I have a little more fabrication and welding to do on my 14 bolt before I can start assembly on it.

Not all of them came with the rear bar. But now would be the time to add it tho lol.

Yup. At least you didn't bolt it up and install the axle before you realized

 

[chevyracer8262]

Yeah I know this is about the 8th gmt400 seires truck that I've had or built and this is the first one I've had that has the antiroll bar on the rear and I'm deffinatly going to install it because I know that'll help with body roll for sure.
