Looks like a damn good mod especially for when putting extra weight in the truck. What is it costing you so far? How's it ride?

i rolled the passenger side but it didnt do any good the tire sticks out too far, but on the driver side it didnt need to be rolled, for some reason on all chevy's the axle isnt exactly even in the rear...its odd but ive always been wanting bags and ive slowly been accumulating all the parts, i started getting everything this past summer and finally got the rest of the kit in a few weeks ago

The angle of the panhard bar shifts the axle to one side when lowering, and towards the opposite side when lifting. An adjustable panhard bar will help center it a little better, but it will still shift while airing up and down.
Looks good dude. Can't wait to to see it when you get the front finished:cheers:

So how does it ride?

rides pretty good, i dont have the sway bar on either and when i took it off and still had the springs on it rocked alot on the interstate and rolled more on turns, but now i have the bags on it doesnt rock or roll at all, it rides almost as if it was a factory cadillac deville, i will get a full idea of the ride when i finish the front..
