Just seeing this build. Liking it so far.
Three things I noticed.... 1st: Glad you relocated the T/A x-member. When I was looking @ the exposed thread @ the spherical bearings I was thinking they look like they're over extended from a safety perspective. With the x-member relocated, things look much better. Unfortunately the d-shaft issue becomes the result.
2nd: I wonder if the bed floors are 'stamped' for the wider/big tub install but that's all? Doing them like so allows the same floor to work w/the standard tubs or w/the big tubs (they only have to carry one part). The difference being the stock/small tubs bolt right in & the big tub install requires trimming the floor as needed. Just a theory.
3rd: 102mm DBW TB w/a 5.3l seems overkill. I'm not well versed on the LS but have been doing homework in anticipation of using one someday. I see many say the smaller 92mm ported is much easier on tuning/drivability. Curious on the motor internals/specs?
