It's cool as long as it's not coming at you. This is the one that hit Tupelo last year.

Shortly after that photo it started raining so hard we couldn't see the tornado anymore. That's when things got a bit more sketchy. I don't live in the middle of nowhere but I can see it from my back porch and that tornado still managed to hit a farmyard and kill two people. I'm surprised how often we actually have tornado warnings for NE Montana.

I left work at 730pm. Drank a few brewskis. Life is better.

Continuing my suspension component hording... Think I'm going to go with ZL1 sway bars instead of the 1LE bars.

Why not a thicker aftermarket one?

Cost is the main reason plus it won't see any serious track time. Just trying to reduce the roll as well as solidify the rear end with some solid cradle bushings and some upper control arm bushings. May order the ZL1 or Z/28 toe links as well just to further stiffen the rear end up.

I thought about adding in differential bushing while I have the cradle out but read that the bushings aren't really necessary plus they can deform overtime due to the heat from the diff.

I am running BMR front and rear sways, springs, rear control arm bushings and trailiing arms. All affordable and very effective. The sway arms and trailing arms make a HUGE difference.

I'm also running BMR stuff and it's not very expensive, but I can understand where you're coming from.

If you do decide change the diff bushing, think about it again. They're a mother to get out without a press, ask me how I know.
