All of the brands mentioned produce a quality product. I used Belltech on my '00 S-10 ten years ago to do a 3/4 drop, and haven't had a problem since. I did a story that's going to appear in the July issue of Street Trucks on refreshing the Belltech Nitro-Drop II lowered shocks all the way around and replacing the stock S-10 coils I cut originally with 1-inch with Belltech's drop coils. The story will show you what's involved including the addition of a rear swaybar.

You will need to re-align after you do the installation, and that's something any good alignment shop can handle.
