Hi All,
I decided that I've been lurking around these forums long enough and went out and bought an 2000 Ltd with the V10 this weekend so that I could join the club. I really had been looking for a PSD, but didn't have much luck, so I broke down and got the V10. I traded in my '97 Tahoe b/c it was too small, so all I can say is that I love the size of the big X.
I'm planning a few upgrades right away including changing over the front sway bar bushings to poly. Unfortunately, I don't know where I would go to get a set, and also what the part number would be. Any help that you folks could provide would be greatly appreciated.
While I'm asking questions, here's another one: I had Relfex shocks on my Tahoe and found them to be pretty good. For my X I was thinking about Rancho 9000's but I'm not sure if that's the way to go. My driving is about 85% ashphalt and 15% main-haul logging roads. I assume that the 9000's are better suited for off road, but how are they on the highway? For my type of driving, would the Reflex's make more sense?
Thanks in advance!

I can vouch for the Ranco 9000's - work WELL on my 03 X....
and if you don't want the in cab controller - I've been lusting after those since I got mine....
