This. It's pretty much universal.

I have 20% up front, 15% back side windows and 5% rear. I also have a 6" strip at the top of my windshield.

As long as they can see you ok-ish, you're fine.

Did you drop your subframe? Did you drill the extra hole and install the 2-bolt bushings?

I've had enough of driving it in the snow. Found a real clean low mileage Dakota, V8 5 speed 4x4 with no rust. Bring on the snow storms!

Finally got my fe5 Sway bar in. Head assembled except one valve spring because I lost 2 locks. Time to wait even longer to get 2 locks then finally assemble the engine and put it back in. Gonna be legit!

Not holding my breath this time. .030" milled/ported head, cams and valve springs from my original head, lsj gasket, head studs, gonna loop my heater hoses probably since I don't have an hvac box anymore. There's too much **** to go wrong.

Funny thing happened I purchased a new GM MAF sensor which arrived in the mail today & to my surprise when I opened the envelope & unrolled the bubble wrap I had not one but 2 bran new GM MAF sensors! I tripple checked my order form & my bank account & they only charged me for one ☝ so unless are cars are suppose to run ??♀ with 2 MAF sensors I have a backup!

You had to drop the cradle to install the sway bar didn't you? I remember when I installed mine it looked impossible to do without dropping the cradle. As far as the lost keeper that is why you can see in my build thread I installed my valve springs in my living room lol.

Nope. I have neither the place nor the means to drop the subframe. Thats what made it super frustrating. But it's done now and hopefully a big improvement

All you need is 4 jack stands to drop the subframe. You leave the engine and trans up in the car. Might be tougher to find a strong spot for the jackstands without under car rails though I guess.
