I purchased my LS7 lifters from Texas Speed and they do not come with lifter trays. Im sure if you called up a shop they could get you a set of trays though.

Anyone who sells the lifters should have the trays available too, $16-$20 on average.

The trays are the only thing keeping the rollers pointed straight on the lobes of the cam. On any car with over 50K miles its added insurance. In addition GM redesigned them recently to be less prone to failure, (not that they fail that often). For what they cost I would pick up a new set...IMHO

The OEM LS1 lifter is now the LS7 which is an upgrade over the original LS1. The lifter trays have also been improved and you are crazy to not change them for the small coin while you are in there. Next I would look at the Caddy racing lifters then Morels but they are way overkill for most.... LS7 lifters here.
