Oh, it's not hard to explain... GM products are not "solid" with fit and finish. Rattles and clunks are the norm...

Yeah, so I've noticed. Ive been seriously considering dumping mine for an ecoboost fx4 here lately with the great build quality and huge crew cab they have.

You'll love a boost. I've got 28,000 on mine now and its yet to skip a beat. It will tow anything I hook to it and it make between 18-21 on the interstate unloaded. It made 21.5 going to Colorado last June with my quad in the back and a slight tailwind. I absolutely love that truck!

Anyone got the PN's handy for poly front sway bushings? I have a bunch of end links kicking round but not the bar/frame bushings and Im hoping someone here has a PN handy or a link to where to buy reasonable. Thanks

hey guys, put my hellwig on front and went with the addco on the back, because I have Corsa dual exhaust out the back, still had to move the sway bar a couple of times to keep from hitting the left side exhaust and lowering 3 inches in back tighten everything even more. I'm thinking I should have tried the Hellwig in the back and work around everthing, but we will see how this works out

I have the djm rear bar on the back and the longer end links for stock ride height would the bar be more responsive if I used the shorter end links
