I'm not sure this would be called a mod by most people, but I will consider it a mod as I'm stock guy. I installed my permanent ZL1 Jacking Pucks. They appear to be of high quality solid material not plastic package of 4 weighed .41 pounds. NOW I can go get my 500 mile oil change and feel a little better about lifting car.

Keep the wrench in your car in case you need to get towed. The slots those are in can be used to tie down and / or hoist your car

Fore and aft Z51 Sway Bars to my standard 3LT Vert suspension. Well worth the cost and effort!

Those look very high quality. Are they thick enough to clear the GM or aftermarket side skirts? Also, would the red ones be seen from the side?

Thanks. I'm sure the red ones would make it easier for any wrench monkeys to line up the lifting points with the jack, etc.

Good point I didn't think of that when ordering. I guess I could take off and paint.
