Thanks bro!!

No , it still has stock shocks and bumpstops, not for long though, It rides / drives really good, actually better than it did. Except for the rear exhaust pipe hitting like i said, but im fixing that too.

Appreciate the kind words guys thanks. Im just another guy who Loves GM trucks, best looking vehicles on the planet IMO.
