Krazy glue a 50$ weight in the location haha.
Ik what you mean about the weight, i used to have a stepside and would spin 24's on 305's. Had toget a bed cover/sand bags to get close to the weight of a fleet side.

They just pull out, just grab them and yank em out at an angle, can use a screw driver to help get back in. they r held in by 4 indents in the cup. Replace with some Z71 jounce stops. Much better ride IMO-Max got me on them and they ride better anyways.
You are right on using jounce stops. Are torsion bar suspensions are made to use them, acts like a progressive rate spring. I have run with stocks, cut stocks(different heights) no stops at all, Z71 stops, cut Z71 stops, and finally found a height that works for my setup and feel with cut Z71 jounce stops. But the Z71 stops felt the best compared with stocks.

Nice. Well I'm gonna grab me a set of some Z71 bumpstops and slap those bad boys in. Where's the best place to get bumpstops like that from?

So I did some shopping around and found some bumpstops but only place I could find them at wa the Chevrolet dealership. $24each. Is that about what you paid for yours Whiteout?
I really don't like big wheels.
But that being said I really think your truck looks bada$$. IMO 24s would be better but it does look great.
And yes you need to do something with those vent caps. It brings down the whole cleanliness of the truck.

Yea for sure dude. Im gonna install them Saturday. Can't wait. And it'll be a perfect time to pull the vent caps and repaint them.
What color?

Flat black. I'm not a big fan of the color matched vent caps. Unlike how flat black flows with the rear upper half being the dark tinted windows and having the vents black also to me flows nice.
I don't really like them color matched either. Mine are rattle can black. They were off f a green Esky. So they aren't flat but they are slightly glossy. I think it matches good with the windows.
Working the grind man. I remember when i first joined your tahoe was one of the NBS that gave me inspiration. She's looking good man. Good to see you back. Take care of Fam first man.

Got started on the install this afternoon. Got the panhard bar removed. Wasn't too bad besides those stupid brake clips were a sob. I also picked up all new grade 5 hardware 9/16 to get rid of the small slop. Ran out of daylight today but will continue bright and early tomorrow.
Stock panhard bar vs. Spohn panhard bar. That stock panhard is so flimsy feeling.

Alright so for the curious gear heads like me I've got to the bottom of the bolt size dilemma and mystery. So the panhard bar uses 9/16 in the derlin bushing. The lowers have the del-sphere joints which use the 14mm bolts, 9/16 does not fit in the del-sphere joints. Just tried and not fitting and 1/2 is too small so the 14mm is the perfect fit for the del-sphere joints. And then the uppers have a derlin bushing at one end and a del-sphere at the other end so for the uppers, it needs a 9/16 for the derlin and a 14mm for the del-sphere. Using 4" bolts for everything, except the lower rears (axle) uses a 5" bolt if you have the relocating brackets on which I do and still need to hunt down some 5"x14mm bolts.
