Cylinder mounting questions for front and back mounts

ight i got a 92 s10, drop spindles on it, ight now for the front, i was plannin on using the coil under set up, would i be easier with djm LCAs than stock ones? would a power ball set up be better? wut spring should i use? Then for the back, i dont wanna mount the hydros on my axle really, my idea was, i put the sd 4 link on, get a fuel cell, but what about mounting the cylinders to the behind and blow bag brackets in the rear using a power ball? any thoughts on that? idk if this is important, but the truck will lay frame on 20s in the end run, i mean i dont know much about hydros, i just know i think its cooler than air and i dont want to have air again, so can anyone show me some good pics of rear and front hydro set ups on there sdime....any comments are greatly appreciated...thanks...one more thing, i was gonna get parker fittings and lines and i guess prohopper cylinders and motors? wuts the best kit ot get or i mean wut should i order? thanks guys

Re: Cylinder mounting questions for front and back mounts

ight i left out some stuff, on the arms, i was gonna get ART or SD upper and lower arms so i could lay the 20s, which one is easier to work with, i would have to run powerballs with them right cuz they just have the bag plate mounts on them? also, wut size cylinder should i run, all 8s or 6 in front 8 in back??? im a huge hydraulic NEWB here sorry for the 8 million questions but im tryin to learn and stray away from the bags....OH and do any of you guys run shocks with hydros? im gonna run accumulators for sure as well, but i want the ride to be as nice as possible, prolli just shocks in the back if i did them?

Re: Cylinder mounting questions for front and back mounts

on the 91 s-10 that i'm building now i'm using the jdm drop arms with chassis tech(<-yeah i know) uppers with a 6 inch cylinder and a 1/2 ton chevy coil cut down to 4 turns and my front skid plate lays as of now with a 26 inch tire, on the rear i have the SD 3 link and plan to run 10 inch cylinders over axle with shocks. but its far from done so we'll see what happens. oh and as far as fittings and hoses go, hit up jbhydros on aol instant messager for fittings and such, you will save tons of cash verses buying from a lowrider hydraulic shop. i buy all my lines, fittings,checks, and slowdowns from him.
