dooooooo eeeeeeeeeeeet

That's the plan :lol:

Our Kit would have included the subframe, front diff lowering brackets, upper A-arm width extension brackets, torsion bar relocators, steering drop bracket, 2 x 3 bolt idler arm assemblies, shocks, brake lines, 1 ton tie rod ends and adjuster sleeves, and all necessary hardware!

It looks like I'd be keeping my stock tortion bar... So my ride will still be S-10 ish :lol:

The A-arms are apparently stock s-series ones, from what I can tell, just moved

That's good,nice to keep the stock ride,it'll just be higher.Of course more travel too.I sure hope you can find a way to get this kit,would be a great ''How To'' write up.


I might go with the stiffer springs in the rear anyway, just to keep it level when I tow something :lol:

It would definitely make a nice how-to...
"How to make your S-Series be able to keep up to Leo" :lol:

That would be a tuffy :lol:


With 2000lbs less carrying weight, I'd bet the parts could hold up to it ;)

But it would be DAMNED fun testing it out! :thumbs:

Can't wait to see a vid :eek:


You might get to drive it :lol: :thumbs:

Gotta wait for the guy to check and see what the fab shop will charge for a one-off...

But it's probably going to be expensive :(

They've gotta make the sub frame and brackets...

But I'd have 1/2 ton width... And brakes!

I've gotten a lot more info from the guy who did the proto-type... They're not building a kit due to the economy and such... But he's given me more than enough info to build my own... or pay someone to, lol...

Got the first pieces!

3/4 ton front diff and cv axles!

Turns out my lower a-arms will become my upper a-arms and I need the lower a-arms from a 1/2 ton :skull:

For parts with less than 50k miles on them... I got them at a decent price (for Canada, anyway :lol:)

I'll be rockin' 3.73's when I'm done! :thumbs:
