Re: question about the zq8 leaf springs..
yes stock s10 pickup springs will fit your Xtreme without any problems. Swapping them out will give you approx 1 1/2" of lift out back there. Shouldnt have to change your shocks or anything since the X shocks are the same length as the stock regualr s10 shocks are...

Re: question about the zq8 leaf springs..
yes the zq8 leafs and coil will bolt up on a first gen no problem. The amount of drop you get out of the coils will vary depending on if the engine the coils were designed for and whats in your truck are different.
