I just think the tow mirrors are ugly. If you like them cool. I prefer the stock bois. To each his own.

IMO the 4l60 and 5.3 is what makes tow mirrors not allowed.

that’s just cause you break everything. Quit being so hard on your **** lol.

Still a 33spline shaft right? I forget the differences between the h2 and AXN rear.

The AXN is a Hybrid Axle housing and uses the smaller diameter 10 bolt axle bearings and seals so the shafts are smaller at the bearing Side.

Been a while since I’ve updated this. Truck is running great. I need to take a video of the cold start idle it sounds cammed out and choppy. I did the free travel mod to the rear bump stop mounts and cut down some used Tahoe lift springs I had laying around off a parts truck I got a while back. Rear fenders sit right at about 32” at the bottom so it probably dropped it about 1.5” or so id say although I didn’t measure them before hand. Turned the front torsion keys down about a turn and a half also to get it sitting how I want. Front end geometry is still pretty good and there’s some camber adjustment left when I get it aligned unlike my Escalade which was cambered in too much. Got the hood back from my buddy who painted it. Needs wet sanded still and color doesn’t match 100% but it’s good enough. Also my header rubs the steering shaft a bit, mostly in reverse but it makes a terrible sound so I need to dent that runner in slightly sometime soon.
