I haven't done the tunnel plate, but does it really make a big difference? Thanks in advance.

The Konis and Bilsteins seem to be the choice of many for fairly low $.

I was told that the Pfadts bushings on some cars can pop and make large noises. A major forum seller tech talked me into Z51 sways and stock bushings.

If you want to do shocks, I can vouch for the Koni FSD's. They function as advertised.

the pfadt bushings must be greased properly when you install them then they won't make any noise. and they make a dig difference over the stock bushings.

My Pfadt Bushings have been in for 1.5 years (12,000 mi) with no noise or other problems. I did grease them with the supplied grease per the instructions.
The poly bushings really enhance the Z51 sways, and they are only $30.
The suspension feels much tighter.
I highly recommend them.
