i have 89 s10 pickup. what setup should i use to install the hydraulics. i dont really wanna c notch cause being that low isnt the biggest deal to me yet but i would like to still be as low as possible. does anyone have pics.cause i dont know how to set it up in the rear. i am interested in front back side to side maybe a little hopping. 3 wheel would be nice but if its alot more work im not interested on this truck. i want some durability. what size cyllinders? or coil over in the front or just accumulaters. coil over seems like its alot more tricky to install and whats the pros and cons of the 2?

dont plan on using accums for the front. you want coils and coil under is fine for the front.

unless you are riding on 13's, you will want a notch, even if its under the bed.

i got springs all the way around.. i run bout 3 coils of stock spring in the front with 8" cylinders and i still have the sway bar... as far as the back i run 3 coils and a 10 inch cylinder over the axel with a 8"in notch and a custom build bridge with cylinder donughts welded in instead of bag cups or plates.. it rides great.. as far as pumps i run 2 reds pumps with 4 dumps and 4 batteries. (2 per pump) it does desent but all i use it for is up and down.. i dont hopp it or side to side or nuttin just strictly up and down... but what i got works great and rides great.. the only dissadvantage of runnin over the axel is they come up into the bed.. but thats no big deal to me...

heres a pic of my set up
