Thanks again, I appreciate it.

Re: Big sway bars??
Well I did some research today to answer my own question and the rear sway bars for all tahoes yukons and escalades are the same(forgot to check on suburbans) 2x4 and 4x4 are the same but the front are different. and the 2000 tahoe limiteds (2wd) have a different front sway bar than the regular 2wd tahoes they have a z56 and z60 rpo code which means they have a police/performance suspension. So finding a junked tahoe limited would be pretty awesome for swapping bars anyone know what else is different with their suspensions?

Re: Big sway bars??
Got my bar set for installation tomorrow.
Through some anti-seize compound on the bushings for the time being. Hopefully that wont bite me in the asss in the end.

Re: Big sway bars??
Finally got my bar installed. Pretty simple install. I will have actual driving results tomorrow after work.
Here's a few shots.
The Bar
The hardware
Installed
It took about an hour from start to finish. I like the overall kit, not too fond of the end link mounts that attach to the frame. I'll be making new ones later on. The endlinks themselves are pretty nice, at stock ride hieght they are extended to the fullest(which I dont like) but when I do my drop they will be perfect.
This is the kit I installed. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/HEL-7608/

On a scale from 1-10, how hard was the install.

Re: Big sway bars??
1-10, 10 being the hardest. This was a 2, could've used a second set of hands to hold and line it up. Other than that, it was very easy.
I'm lookin forward to the mornings commute

Thank you very much my man. That would've been disasterous. I'm on it. This is what happens when you try to bang something out when your 2 year old is napping. Crap, I knew it was too good to be true.
