s10freaKs · 05-11-2008, 02:12 AM

I'm a newb to the s10 world... Personally, I'm into VW's... But I just picked up an 84 S10 with ext cab, 4spd, and I'm really feelin the truck... buy I gotta slam it... Looking for an affordable, not to low drop just enought to reduce at least half of factor clearance.... Point me in the right direction for a front and rear drop?

All Summit is showing is a 3/3 drop, I was hoping to go a little lower like 5/5.. But, this is a daily driven truck, so whats a safe, comfortable drop for a daily?
