finally going to do it

crazyfortats · 07-07-2007, 07:26 AM

well after having my truck for over three years and not doing a dam thing with it, im going to put some juice to it. i found a great deal on ebay for a prohopper 4 pump setup and im going to pick it up today.
i hope to start pulling the truck apart with in the next month. i plan on boxing the rear half and adding 4-link. reenforcing the front to hold up to some hopping. if you guys have and suggestions please give them.
i was hoping people on hear might let me know some weak spots of the s-10's. its a 99 s-10 reg cab short bed with a 2.2 4 banger. thanks for any and all help.

I don't have awhole lot of juice experience but i would suggest a very strong bridge and some chains if your going to do a good bit of hopping.

yes i plan on doing the chain bridge and c notching the rear. the c notch will be add right into the frame rail. all one peice no seems on the side. i hope to hop the crap out of this truck.

box it all the way up dont just do the back half. Extend ur uppers and plate them and plat your lowers... dont want springs shooting out. if your wanting to hop u dont need chains but chains work great on 3 wheelin...
