Yes.
The Extreme Dropmember requires a factory high hump.
It's easy to add.

Nice score on the high hump. If you haven't bought your carpet yet, check with Kyle at Laidbackrecreations I bought mine from him, best deal and high end quality.

I ordered it from Trim Parts. Sometimes I can get pretty good deal through my chevy dealership

Looks good. I would remove the panhard bar mount on the rear end. That will give you clearance if you decide to run a full exhaust.
