if you must use these, at least use the ones with the steel cross shaft instead of aluminum. I havent seen any kits to change out the steel bushing for poly, thats a new one to me, but I cant imagine the poly will last very long given its thickness. the steel certainly doesnt last very long. read the reviews.
the way you have your frame set up, the truck will lay out easily without tube arms especially with drop spindles. most people use tubular arms on S10s because they need a lot of drop and lift for big wheels, the upper tube arms clear the exhaust better at big drop and give about an extra inch of lift without the structure that hits the spring hats.
the ridetech arms are great, I would recommend the full upper/lower set if you go that route. I have had several sets and they are always in good enough shape to resell after removing. check your local craigslist, thats where I have gotten mine.
I second the Moog balljoint. there are tall balljoints the name escapes me but it helps with toe change at extreme drop, again, you wont have this problem much because of how your fame is set up.
drop spindles do not come with balljoints.

Thanks for the input everyone! I pulled the trigger on the RideTech upper arms for now and going to see how much trouble I cause when I try "dehump" the lower arms. I'm going to replace all the bushings while they're off as someone in a different thread suggested. May aswell get it all cleaned up and fresh while they are off.
