Yep. That is why I said you may want a smaller rear block to level. But once lifted a bit higher in the rear is really not as noticeable with the larger tires n such. I like a bit higher in the rear. I tried dead level by measurement and it looks rear low. About inch higher on tape measure in the rear seems to look right imo.
I think suicidedoors that I got my bar from does not sell them, so not sure these days. I think Erik is selling the bracket.
Which shock with Z71 springs? Yes, I read the sticky ;)

I have the panhard bar drop brackets in stock. $75 for the bracket and hardware. For $85 I add a 5/8" drill bit that you need for the install. Best way to contact me is at HippoSS@Yahoo.com.

Either can center but for proper suspension cycling you really want both.

Ordered the drop bracket from Erik. I'll start there.
I forgot a question... with the lift setup I have going, should I reverse the upper control arms? I plan on new wheels or spacers. Probably new wheels though. I figured on 25mm offset or so, depending on what I find out there.
I'd like to get in line for a winch bumper, but I'm not sure if I'll want body lift too, and don't want to order and then regret my decision. At the same time, I haven't decided how much tire I want to make room for, especially with the stock GT4 gears.
I guess I still have a lot of questions...but I am moving forward
Hoping to install the suspension this weekend or early next week.

installed most of the lift today. Question about the rear shocks... The old ones had spacers to fill the gaps... the bilsteins do not. What are you guys doing here?

Most people are using a few 1/2" washers on each side. A few people found and cut some 1/2" spacer to fit.
