Anyone running these? I want to hit some corners without ending up in a ditch.... Looks like the front is kinda a PITA to get.... is the Z-71 skid plate bigger than a LS or LT?

I'm interested to know how your truck handles after the install, is that rear I assume? Do they make fronts also?

I did this install a few weeks ago. Got a good deal I think on the set ( $200 bucks used, but in such great shape they were practically new. F & R ) install was pretty easy, the hardest part was in the back, you have to widen up the end link brackets on the truck to get the wider/thicker end-links in. The truck handles pretty dam good, only thing is I'm still on the OEM 16' wheels. I plan to switch to the 07+ 17" wheels with a slightly shorter tire profile. So I can still go over a curb, and have good handling.

Here's a Pic I took while installing the front sway bar. The difference is not so apparent in the front, but the rears had a more noticeable difference in size.

FYI: that's grease, not toothpaste. lol I'll try to get a pic of the rear tomorrow and post it up.

Sway bars are a good upgrade to these land yachts, they drastically decrease the body roll.
