Picked up a running '99 RCSB for $400. My cousin just wanted to get it out of his way. Drove it to the shop and started tearing it down.
Plans are a follows.
Drivetrain:
Engine: '04 LS6
Trans: 4l60E w/ 2800 stall
Rear end: 3:73
Suspension: 4/4 or 4/5 (want a slight rake look in the stance - trial and error here)
McGaughy's 2" drop spindles
Hotchkis Sport Performance 2" drop coils
McGaughy's 4" or Bell Tech 3" drop leafs - not sure which one. Thoughts?
McGaughy's 1-2" drop shackles
Hotchkis sway bars - front and rear
Wheels/Tires:
Silverado SS wheels
255/45R20 or 275/40R20 if they will fit on 8.5" rim - front
275/45R20 - rear
Paint:
GM Truck or Vette Black with Vette Electron Blue or Ford Blue Flame Metallic

This is my first experience with the LS platform and I'm totally confused at this point... do I do this or do I do that. lol. Stay tuned. You'll see me posting questions. Thanks for the support in advance.
