Very nice build you have going on. I was wondeing about the suspension binding also until I looked closer and concluded that that center point had to be a slip joint. Have you driven anything with a 5.3 engine? Just wondering because mine has plenty of bottom end even in a heavy Suburban. Of course, more power is always a good thing, LOL, but I would question if it's worth the extra money and trouble if you don't really need it. You would probably have traction problems with a stock 5.3 in an AD anyway.
