I'm being asked by rough country was my sway bar swapped with a newer truck model or aftermarket. I painted the bar when I had it off but believe it to be OEM...

    What is a direct swap for my 08 5.3 LMG?

I'm going to regear soon which will help but I'd also like to get a cheap direct swap junkyard motor and build on the side. I'd like to build the engine a little maybe heads cam and rods...
