came home and parts started to show up. Have the suspension almost all here. Will be dropping it off tomorrow at the powder coaters. Going to do it all in semi gloss black. Im trying to make the swaybars/springs/mounts etc all look factory.

i ended up buying front/rear energy suspension greasable swaybar endlinks. This makes it cake to grease it all and i will offer it for my ultimate cornering package for the 15 up gm suvs and yes ocd taking over i will be getting the brackets powercoated to match the bars.

Is that brushed titanium vinyl? I have been eyeballing the 3M Scotchprint 1080 to cover the wood in the Denali.
