After some emailing with Jeremiah, it turns out, all the R&D on the kit is done!

If the price is right, I might be able to convince him to make one for me :lol:

1-ton IFS in my Blazer! :thumbs:

He's had their test rig airborne 3 - 4 feet off the ground multiple times, with no issues :eek:

And I'll have WAY better wheel selection... It might also make my V8 swap even easier :thumbs:

If I go with OEM rims, my truck will be the same width as a full-size...

Less than a foot wider than it currently is, so mud flaps shouldn't be too much trouble to make :thumbs:

I forget,but I would assume there's a G80 in the rear? IFS does have a good ride too,I like my Burb's ride

There is right now, and I wouldn't get anything less!
Actually, because I have a 5-speed, I already have the rear diff from a 1/2 ton :lol:

I love the smooth ride from the IFS...

Though, I'd imagine, it's not going to be quite that smooth with 1-ton parts up front :lol:

Oh Yeah,those heavier torsion bars and rear springs won't even know you S-10 is on top of 'em.Wait....springs or T Bars up front?

Cool,the front will for sure carry a V8 easily.But the rear is gonna be real stiff.Maybe lose a leaf from the spring pack?:dunno:

I'm pretty sure, if I want to, I can probably run the leafs from my Blazer...

Leaf spring setups are easy to work with :)

However, as it is, my Blazer weighs 4400lbs... So I'd probably see about fitting it with 1/2 ton springs in the rear.

Might be a good Idea,my wifey's Burb is a 1/2 ton and even those are strong.

BTW,I like this pic
