1.250 Firm Feel Hollow Frnt. Sway bar installed. It fit thru the K-Member with the skid plate already welded on. The Skid plate is also a FF unit. Don't know if other aftermarket skid plates will have the same results.

Very interested to see how that fits.

Glad it finally arrived.  What was it...like 4 months late?

Keep the progress pics coming!

I paid for it in full,,in March of 2013. I think there were a few fitment issues with the B-Body units and this was addressed with the E-Body units but took some time. I hope the old saying,,"Good things come to those that wait" holds true. We shall soon see!
