with upper and lower cups, you can only go so low on an "S10". if you just mod the arm for the bag, you can go down until the "humps" on the arm hit the frame. by "dehumping" the lower control arms and running a plate, or using aftermarket LCAs, you can go low enough to set the frame on the ground. |

Re: Daverods 52
It's always that last couple inches that's the pain. Guess we'll be dehumping. I knew I'd be welding today.

Re: Daverods 52
nicely done.
Did you put anything under the plate? when you go to cut the frame for the bag clearance, just take your time and make a nice smooth arc. From the work you've done so far, Im sure you'll cut it out nice and pretty. |

Re: Daverods 52
With the upper cups I welded in a long stud that would go through the shock hole. It would keep the bag in place.With the lower I bolted the bottom of the bag to the plate, or lower cup. I've done many S-10's and they all laid frame. Not one failed air bad from rubbing, and waring a hole in the bag. Just make sure you cut away anything that can touch the bags. Also grind that cut smooth.

Re: Daverods 52
yup, you have to trim the spring cup area to clear the bags. done properly, its no big deal. you can always put regular coil springs back in too (with diff LCAs obviously) just dont hunk off a huge chunk like the kid did on the first frame I bought. heres a recent thread on S10 forum with pics |

Re: Daverods 52
You can always weld up the area in green. No biggie, but thanks for that link. I was wondering myself!

Re: Daverods 52
Hey Dave when you get your link bars in I need some measurements. I pulled up to a stoplight today and the guy next to me had the same setup. He said it rode real nice with no twist.
