Yes.... good point, better to be made aware of here rather than when the sway bars are being installed.

No, sorry. Been busy, haven't even driven my truck in almost two weeks. Kinda makes me wonder why I spend all this money on something I don't drive

Deer season is coming so it'll get driven more though

I called Hellwig Monday and was told by Kevin that it would fit without issue. The 7800 kit was ordered and should arrive today or tomorrow at latest. I'll report back after I have a chance to install or see that it would need modifications to fit. My goal is to maintain my factory 3.5" exhaust intact without removing resonator.

when you put it on, can you do some measurements between the diff cover and the sway bar? id like to see if a ta performance girdle will fit or not

I have sent David Wheeler @ Helwig some detailed pictures of our 6.2. He has told me he is not sure of the fitment because of the resonator. These guys are great to deal with. I feel confident they will have a defenant answer soon. I hope!
The factory shocks on this thing sucks ! With a stock set up what shocks are being used ?
