I have the sport suspension and for a 6000lbs truck it handles pretty good. Would be even better with a rear sway bar though.

Quoted from the GM info. on the L9H 6.2

Theres more great reading in the link I put in the above thread.

Like we need any more reason to love our 6.2 powered trucks.

 

The new Vortec 6.2L is a fourth-generation descendent of one of the most important and successful engines in automotive history-the original Chevrolet small-block.

 

The 6.2.L is the most powerful of GM's Gen IV Vortec V-8s; indeed, it is the most powerful small-block truck engine ever, with the most torque. It delivers new levels of refinement to go with brute strength, and industry exclusive technologies such as cam-in-block variable valve timing.

What else does the NHT package get you?

I have the 6-speed with the HD tow package, Z82, 9.5" rears, 17" discs, and was just wondering what I didn't get...

Thanks!

 

 

Well, it gets you the 6.2L, HD springs, HD locker, and 3.73 gears mainly.

 

Off GM's website.
