[69GMC2004]

As with many projects, this one started with a budget in mind. Fairly quickly the budget opened the window and got a sniff of what was outside, then the budget was gone. I spent the money on the QA1 front and rear kits. The rear kit I opted for the one without the trailing arms, as the trailing arms were nearly $2000 more by the time it would get to me. The only downside for me was that the kit without the trailing arms doesn't have the coil brackets with the built in c-notch. I tried to purchase the brackets separately on several occasions from QA1 directly but I always got the same response, "not available at this time". I ended up getting a run of the mill c-notch and had to modify it to work with the coil overs. I fully welded the c-notch onto the frame, I was surprised at how much more noticeable the frame stiffness was after welding. I also decided that I was going to ditch the Brothers inner brace and weld a fish plate to the inside of the frame rails.
