Good idea. I'm still concerned if I ever decide to go with a 4L80.
Your truck is way lower than mine will ever be. The interior is gonna be nice.

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
Have you figured out what your going to do about a a/c compressor and other brackets for the 6.0 yet? Only asking because I too have a porterbuilt dropmember and Im putting a ly6 which is the gen 4 6.0 and I'm going to have to do something else for a a/c compressor because the bracket will not fit because of the rack and pinion is in the way and I havent checked the alt/ps bracket to see if it will fit yet but Ill let you know when I do. Anyways just figured I would ask you and see if you have come across this yet or not and if so what are you going to do?

The bracket from kwik performance is what I plan to use, and what I see most others using...

I got the alt/ps bracket to fit on mine but I had to cut on the bracket to clear the ls3 intake and the a/c was way off so I started looking around and came across the kwik performance brackets too and for the price I think thats the way Im going too.
