Yeah I love it adam. My buddy has had a few of these and swears by them. I hope to use my tax refund to get her a little closer to ma earth. I am taking my time and doing everything RIGHT, I tend to get in a hurry and miss details.... not this time.

You could do a 98+ front end conversion on it pretty easily and it wont cost no more that what pick n pull prices are. If it were me, I'd just static drop it. Also, if you can find you a set of ZQ8 rear leafs, they will lower the rear 2 inches right off the bat...the ZQ8 coils will also lower your front end too. There is a guy on eBay who owns a store called "S10 Warehouse", he offers all that stuff and it is located in Bradenton...so shipping would be fast.

Awesome. I plan on a mild 3/4 static. I am really starting to dig the bravada front clip. I knew about the zq8 coils but didnt even think about the leafs, I am in the market for some new ones so I will deff look into that. I have a lot of big ideas but with a small budget it will be a slow process.

Yeah, you could do 2" blocks and the ZQ8 leafs and be at 4" in the rear easy. I would also suggest a ZQ8 sway bar and bilstein scocks all the way around. Thats what all the ZQ8 trucks came with from the factory.

Then I finally got her lowered a little. 3/4 coils and spindles. I also had some extra cans of the bedliner and said what the hell and painted the wheels with it.
