98 s10 tailgate and stance ?
I'm always in the 60-66 side ,prob 2nd time on this part of the forum. I have a 98 s10(64c10 also) and some lucky ass (very lucky I didn't catch them) stole my perfect not a dent ,scratch original tailgate on dec24! I'm thinking I wanna put a gatornet on it now, and also wanna get rid of the ass up stance. Don't wanna drop it,that's what the 64 is for. I wanna raise the front so it's even with the rear. What can I do ? Where can I buy the parts needed? I don't now anything about parts besides replacement parts for newer trucks. I'm an old car/truck guy,but I really love my s10. Great truck,great mileage, no power but I really take care of it. This is the newest car I've ever owned. Thanks for any help!

How much different is the front from the rear?
If the back end is up, it would be very easy to put a small drop block in to level it out, rather than putting in a front spring spacer shim or something.

Re: 98 s10 tailgate and stance ?
Well, the S10s seem to come from the factory with the left front being lower than the rest of the truck. Belltech makes a 3/4" spacer for this exact application.
They also make a generic 1" spacer that sounds like it may work for your application, depending on how much difference you have between the front and rear of your truck. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/BEL-34852/ Any of the major parts places (Summit, Jegs, etc) have them, or your local parts house may be able to get them as well.
