Get OEM ones for the fronts and Duralast Gold for the rears. I tried the Duralast gold for the front but it made the ride stiff and they didn’t settle correct when I torqued to 18lbs. factory spec. I changed to oem and all was good. The rears I recommend Duralast gold which is more thicker and they have grease fittings too and lifetime warranty.

That's the point of adding the hellwig sways bars and good endlinks "to stiffen up the ride"

if I have the BB AutoCal do I still need to invest in a scanner for my truck. 2015 Y-SLT, I’m an intermediate/moderate mechanic so for major stuff I’m probably not tackling it anyway.

Pretty satisfied with how this whole project turned out. My son and I swapped in a brand new (kinda) 220a GM alternator. The regulator had a broken connector so I showed him how to remove the stock alternator's regulator and swap it over. After that, we designed a Megafuse mount, and wired it in. Everything came out pretty damned good, for less than $200. Only thing I have left to do is reprint the mount in TPU instead of PETG since I ran out.

as long the wire is rated for more than that fuse then you are good to go, if not then there is a risk of fire. that is the point of having a fuse rated at a lower rating than the wires. In case of a short circuit the fuse blows and prevents a fire.

That is another reason I mounted the fuse where I did. I wanted it as close to the battery as I could.

Drove 300 miles to pick up an exhaust with my son, then polished up the tips a bit before hopefully installing tomorrow:

Hoping to install it with the reverse leveling kit over the next few days, weather permitting.

These are what I got, except I found them on marketplace lightly used. Definitely a chore to install. Took me a whole weekend, but it was also was my first time doing headers and I'm a notoriously slow and steady worker. I do have 4wd, and didn't have any clearance issues. I changed my spark plugs at the same time, couple places mentioned that removing them gives more space to slide in and piece of mind that you won't break one. You'll need a variety of shallow and deep sockets, extensions, swivels, wrenches, etc. There are numerous helpful install videos on YouTube, especially for Silverados, but the process is the same. WOT sounds like a flock of bald eagles.
Tsp catted y pipe do much for the smell?
