It can be long debated but s-10 route will be cheaper. It's all preference. If I had money falling into my pockets I'd do IFS's on most builds but the s-10 has its pros and cons. I definitely like having the strength of the s-10 frame though. Just my take on it.

i have an s10 ext cab i dropped 4/3 dropped spidles i" springs in front rear stock leafs with one leaf pulled with 3" blocks and it rides stiffer than i like. im a little nervous going with the s10 frame on an ad truck and putting it in the weeds . i cant afford bags
