Fox #985-24-048 should fit the rear with a small lift.

The door skins are different. The skins for the windows have an indention so the window sits flush. If you just cutout the solid door the glass will stick out from the door.

I have considered it. I actually picked up two side doors with windows to swap on, but have yet to dive into it. In the winters, I actually prefer not having the extra windows to deal with freezing condensation on. Aside from swapping on window doors, I think the easiest way to get factory...

As best I could gather when I did mine, the 7623 (1-1/8") and 7635 are the same shape bar but with different mounts and the 7635 is 1-3/8". It didn't look like the 2500 mounts would work with the 1500 rear axle. I never had the 7635 in my hands though. The 7635 works with a 2" rear lift.

They flash the BCM. They need to call GM and list the part numbers of what is changed. Then GM will send them a reflash.

No experience with the Hellwig helper springs, but I found a set of add-a-leaves that have been sitting around waiting to be installed to the factory packs. Someday I will get around to installing them to see how they work. I'm not a fan of the stiff overload springs that the Suburban packs...

I ran silicone heater hose down the passenger frame rail and transitioned to copper tubing before going through the floor to my heat exchanger. I put the vacuum bypass valve on the passenger side of the engine just below where the heater hoses run up into the heater core. Looks like you will...

Really liking your second take on the interior, I am eager to see it finished. Out of curiosity how has your Webasto been treating you? I continued to have carbon build up at higher elevations with mine. I tried removing the muffler from the exhaust and it has been working for a three...

I am a little better off with the 3.73s, so most highway driving is fine, but around home in the steep winding roads I would like lower gears, especially when towing my snowmobiles. The 6spd would be awesome, but probably more money than it's worth for my old van. With these storms lined up, I...

The gears are available. I have even priced out the parts and considered doing it myself. High performance Yukon Ring & Pinion gear set for GM IFS 7.2" (S10 & S15) in a 4.56 ratio | RANDYS Worldwide

I drive mostly in the Sierras and have 3.73 gears and 33" tires. I really want lower gears, I will eventually go to 4.56. I have got a few estimates between $2600-$3000. Most good 4x4 shops do gear changes and don't need to be sent out. No need to touch the transfer case.

Sorry for the late response, Herbie is spot on (as usual) the pucks are used with the factory body mount bushings.

I used 3" diamater. It takes 12. 14mm bolts so at least 9/16" holes, 5/8" woukd work.

Not sure who the seat manufacture was it was a take out from a van Sportmobile Fresno was redoing. It was setup to run seat belts. My only complaint with the seat is that the frame and sliders consume a lot of the under seat space limiting some storage.
