fairly simple... LOL yeah i flipped my swar bar today it took like 2 hours it was kinda hard! It went pretty good but its a lil hard. I took off one of the tie rod ends like you said. but its got a lock nut on there and we had to use a torch to heat it up and impact it off. Getting the sway bar back in was a lil tough theres not much room to get it back in there so we dropped the engine about 1 1/2 inches to give us a lil more room. Well now im all set for the 3" downpipe! Im pretty happy. I need to get an alignment tho and a new lock nut. If i get the GMPP handling kit. i sure as hell dont wanna do the sway bar again. we'll see smile

Why do you need a new sway bar with the GMPP kit? I dont see how another on will make any difference.

The sway bar that comes with the GMPP kit is bigger/stronger/stiffer than the OEM sway bar.
My tie rod ends didn't have lock nuts, it had cotter pins.
If you don't plan on swapping sway bars, then I wouldn't bother buying the GMPP handling kit.
