Ideas to lower S10 Blazer

[waynieZ]

Hi guys my buddy has an early 90's S10 Blazer he wants to lower the front end. He already has 2" drop Bell tech spindles and 2" lowering springs. He would like to lower it a little more 2-3". The truck was turned into a panel truck and in a pro street style V8, turbo 350 and tubbed. But hanging with me I think he wants more handling. Not pro touring but fun to drive. I don't have nay pictures to show how it is now.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks Wayne

'bag it

QA1 coil over conversion... upper and lower arms will be needed.. period when you go this low with these little trucks the control arms love to beat the frames in front of the spring pockets like a redheaded step child.

you have to do it either way with bags or coil overs

just depends on how low he wants to go.. down fall to being stupid low with bags is the shock placement. also along with tire height, anything above 25"s the stock inner fenders will have to be yanked. and this needs to happen in suit of such.



here was the truck when bagged notched stock lower arms.

Thanks Matt he only wants to go lower to handle better not lay it on the ground. He alredy has the control arms hitting the frame. Who make a good set of A arms for it.. Some one told me the front of the S10 Blazer isthe same as a G body ??? Id that so?

Thanks Wayne

Though we already have kits for both the S10 and G-Body (they are almost identical) we just finished re-working our front kit for improved geometry to aid in handling. We moved the ball joints for better camber and caster (with a lowered ride height), used a tall ball joint (to increase camber gain), and revised the steering (to mitigate bumpsteer).

It's not on the website just yet as we are still getting the revised parts into production, but you can see examples here (for the G-Body):

and here (for the S10):

NOTE: Our lower control arm is designed to use our coil-over or Shockwave set up. You cannot use the stock style spring/shock.
