S10 Project

I hope someone can help me out?
I' m looking to get the roadgrater system for the rear and want to run it with 20' s all round.
What system would be best for running up front? I was looking at the coolride with the strong arms, i couldn' t work out what system was being used on the front of the chassis picture of the truck on the roadgrater page on the online catalogue. I' m looking to get a similar height front and rear.

Any help much appreciated

Yea, CoolRide front and rear w/ drop spindles. That truck had 18' s on it, with 20' s you might have to cut the fender well.

Excellent...

When you say the rear has drop spindles...newbie question but what does that mean...is that all part of the roadgrater system or something extra??

Thanks for the help!

I would just run a standard bag up front with cups, and arms unless you would like to mod the stock ones. I have relocated shocks with RE7' s up front and it rides really good, the lift is a lot better than shockwaves also. And to fully lay out you will have to remove the inner fenders, relocate a lot of stuff, get a smaller brake booster, move the master cylinder if its a manual, raise the battery or relocate it, and tub the firewall. It sounds like a lot but take it one step at a time.

I know I' m a little late on the response to this post (computer problems) but we have just worked on a ' 01 V6 with 20' s. I can send pics of the work we had to do to tub the fire wall and relocate a lot of critical components if you would like to see what you are in for.

hey bro. did your turning radius get affected when you relocated the shock.

does the turning radius get affected when you relocate the shock and put a wider tire. im looking at an 8 wide tire

It'll be close, but you should be OK. I think that we used a 7" wheel and it didn't hit.
