I've had this truck for about two years now and decided to get a little more serious about it. I bought it from my brother to drive back in forth to school to take the heat off of my Regal. It already had a 3 in. drop in the front and back from a previous owner. After a while the flexable 3 inch drop block in the back just wasn't cutting it. It all went downhill from there. I'm not going to put much money into it due to a more important 1969 GTO project.

Awesome, love the first gen builds. There are a couple of us S10 guys around here, and over on a dedicated s10 site. Looking forward to updates!

Ok so first thing I had to take care of was the 3 inch drop block in the rear. The U bolts would loosen over time making the rear axle shake loose and almost fall off of the damn truck.

4 inch drop springs

1 inch drop block

How it sat when it was all done. I noticed the rear sat lower than the front which made it understeer badly and looked ghetto as hell (or even more ghetto than the truck looks already). So now I have to invest in a new front suspension.

What's the plan with the front suspension?

I'm almost finished up with it I just haven't had time to post about it. I put 2 inch drop spindles and a 2 in drop spring to replace the 3 inch drop spring in it I also rebuilt control arms with poly bushings and tall lower ball joints(I haven't put the lower control arms on yet). I also ordered Bilstein shocks with correct lengths for the amount lowered I just haven't put those on either.
