    Front Bumper for 2011 Silverado 3500

    Hi guys, Unfortunately I damaged the front bumper on my 2011 Silverado 3500HD. Now I was thinking about putting on something more suitable foor Offroad driving because the OEM bumper is quite low and therefore quite exposed and likely to be damaged. I was looking at something like this...

    next improvements Thanks Chilli. Now I think about some more improvements. Background ist that I drive quite often on steep, curvy roads (Italy, France, Switzerland...). Sometimes I would wish to have a smaller first gear for this. Uphill it would probably keep the automatic fluid a little...

    Update... Hi guys, I wanted to give you an update on how things are going on... While working on the truck I remarked that the front suspension was nearly resting on the bumper stops. I then set the front suspension slightly higher (by turning up the screws at the torsion bars). Now it is a...

    Does anybody know how much a rear sway bar would restrict the flexing? The next thing I find a bit strange: If the rear sway bar would be the missing part...shouldn't I have the side to side roll also while driving at higher speeds in corners? I have that problem only at very low speed on very...
