mostly off the shelf 4 link front and rear. Few little twists like frenching the brackets into the extra depth of the K30 frame but largely "stock". We haven't made a lot of noise about the rear kit but it's been working well on a limited production basis so far. 14" front travel, 17" in the back. Should be pretty fun in the rough!

The VVT question is interesting but trivial now since the cam is a LS3 version and all the VVT stuff has been removed. It might be more accurate to call it a LS3 with truck accessories now? I am curious about it though.

Back to work, left at 3am last night after swapping a hydroboost and master unit to get power brakes working. aarrgg. New and rebuilt stuff that's supposed to work still needs massaging I guess.
