Re: 5.3 swap questions

You do not need to swap frames my friend, move all that stuff over to your frame. It will have the same VIN on the frame as the cab-better for if\when you sell.

ECE sells some clam shell type for our trucks, also I would get a trans mount from CPP-tubular.

Why go through all the expense to do the motor and trans and cut coils? Use drop spindles and 2" drop coils, 5' drop coils in rear with a 1" block so you dont need a c notch. much better ride and handling this way, also get you a fat sway bar for the front too!

These guys here are fantastic and very knowledgeable. pick their brains but be darn sure to include pictures because no one believes anything until you show them a picture.

Good luck!
