Replaced LCA with Mevotech complete with bracket and balljoint

Also installed 2500 HD Tie rod conversion in which I found out that the 06 Envoy's tapper is to big for the rod end.

Fixed it with some shit metal (thanks V7guy for lending a hand).
Still need to figure out what I have to do with the outter part of the boot. :scratch:
