Sorry, no pictures to share of the installation. Be pleased take some in situ if theyll help.
Found a DIY thread prior to purchase. Didn't mention the requisite shock bracket modification for later trucks.
Taken the liberty of uploading that addendum for reference.
Overall fabrication quality and hardware fitment is excellent. No long term durability testing yet completed though.
Broke a U-bolt (on a rock while off-roading) on my former 92 Sierra.
Called Hellwig and they shipped a gratis replacement with no questions asked or proof of purchase shenanigans.
Theyre straight shooters.
PDF installation instructions were too big to upload;

Damn....... Bud..... yeah, I guess ya do really never know.
...woulda really liked to hear your feedback on the upgrade from your perspective, you always had good solid reviews.
seems most every thread I get a notification for now has a good Bud discussion going on!
guess he shall live on in more ways than one.
I don't see how it should effect your brake lines? Mine remained unchanged and unaffected, but then again I'm not 100% sure the differences between the addco and hotchkis.

I was curious on this as well, would have loved to hear his feedback.

Its a straightforward replacement of our hollow OE bar. Its 4130 1-1/2 OD and heavy-duty bushings substantially increases roll stiffness though.
Suggest renewing end-links concurrently if youve accumulated some mileage, as theyre prone to premature wear.
Frequently visit friends near Weir Canyon if youd like to drive em. Alternatively, Im in Hermosa Beach when next youre out this way.

It sure was strange to see a thread near the top by this OP.
I would think that a 6" drop would be ok. You may want to build/buy blocks to drop the frame mounts down so the bar is more level.
