Well sir, it was my money and I did what I wanted with it. I didn't want to cheap out on it as it has a brand new engine and is maintained seriously well- almost too much. Also, I wanted to somewhat keep my mileage that I'm getting because its a daily driver. Performance is perfect! Yes, I had some things to iron out but to me that is the fun in a build. The GM tune for 31's was free from Suski Chevrolet, the parts are quality and I have yet to be stuck. I have a reason for purchasing what I purhased and it was kind of offensive for you to say that albeit your opinion.

If anyone else wants to take that route of shackle/tbar, let me know. I have a set that I don't need so name a price.

Also, most of the time (in my experience) after cranking the front end, you can't even clear 31's anyways. The bars are usually too worn out and you require cutting and or a body lift.

No offense was meant... Remember... I bought a RC 2.5" too.
I just wasn't happy with the end results since I could have accomplished the same amount of usable lift with a t-bar crank and rear shackles.

nice truck and nice music too, congrats!!
