My lowered s10 that will not stay this way!

[corn]

I put 2" spindles & 2" springs on the front & its WAY too low! The exhaust is @ 1 1/2" off the ground right now. I think Ill put stock springs back in the front & just run the spindles. I have 4" blocks & one leaf removed. I think Ill stick the 3" blocks back in it. Now I have 2 sets of drop springs to get rid of & a set of 4" blocks. Ill list the parts for sale once I get it to sit how I like.

That thing looks good that low... but I understand if Iowa roads are anything like Missouri roads.

Raise exhaust and leave it! Looks good. My '91 has 2" spindles, 3" springs (4.3) with Belltech 3" drop leaves and 3" blocks for a total of a 5"/6" drop. You just need to get good clearance everywhere. It will be fine. I do need a c-notch in the back, though. I like your truck just the way it is.

I planned that at first but I noticed it is already sitting down on the bump stops. If I cut or take them out it will drop even more. The way I have been measuring it, its 6" in the front. I bought a set of zq8 springs for the front last night. Ill just have to wait until they get here & change them then. Should end up closer to 4" then. I drove it a little yesterday & it rode like crap. It does look pretty cool just sitting there though...

I think it looks good like that.Just buy a back brace, and one of those neck collars lol. I've got a 5/6 drop on my 82 4 cyl springs with a V8, 3inch blocks and 3 inch rear springs. It was a daily driver until I couldnt afford the gas anymore. It rides better than stock usualy. Except pot holes really suck , a lot lol. I think the rear springs make it ride better they are a lot softer than the stockers.

When my truck was static dropped I had 2 inch spindles with 3 inch springs and they were also cut to go another 2 inches. In the rear was a 3inch leaf and 4 inch blocks. Talk about a PITA to drive. I would say the West Virginia roads have all of yours beat.. LOL

Truck looks good that low. If you take it to a exhaust shop they can build you a new Y pipe to hug the tranny a little closer. If not it will just get crushed and leak really bad.

Thats exactly what happened. I put zq8 (v6) springs in it now. Much happier...
