i'll remember that for next time! her mom's bday is fri so we'll be out. i think they may have somethin planned for the better part of sat though and i may be free. but not sure yet. i'll let ya know and i'll be down if your not doin anything!

[Tim99Zr2]

well, going to take my shocks back and maybe order new ones.. ugh. wish me luck! haa

[Tim99Zr2]

welp, took my old shocks back. and ordered some bilstein 5125s that are 34" long.. see how long these ones last. also had to shell out 80$ for them! since they took the pro junks back and refunded me

[Baggey22]

And as always we'll be seeing new pictures with them on

[Tim99Zr2]

[Baggey22]

You only say that cause you know I'm right

[Tim99Zr2]

what you wanna bet?

[Baggey22]

well this is YOUR build thread. So that entails you to take pictures of all your progress for all of us.









and you're a whore (but I will be too probably)

[Tim99Zr2]

haha. good point, so SHUT UP!!

your just jealous!

[Baggey22]

The only thing I have to be jealous of is that your truck is SAS'd and mine isn't . . . . yet

[Tim99Zr2]

exactly. my point

and mine is just teh sex!

[crazy91s10]

so when we transfering all your hard work to my truck... i'm so glad you decided to use your truck as the prototype for when you sas my truck!!!

[Baggey22]

I don't know if I'd call it "teh sex" but it looks great

[Tim99Zr2]

truck wont pass inspection... uhh. need to find myself some stock tires.

its too high and tires stick out too far

[crazy91s10]

damn that sucks... did they even say anything about the sas? they were only concerned with tires?

[Tim99Zr2]

nevermind, a guy down the street will do it. and brandon, he didnt say anythin about the SAS

just need mud flaps, lower my front bumper, front shocks, and put some stock tires on it

in PA the bumper height is 16-30 inches

[crazy91s10]

nice... although i just replied to your myspace message.

i'm surprised that they didnt say anything about the sas... if i were a garage i'd be more worried bout someone altering suspension than how far their fvckin tires stick out.. oh well.. glad ya got it stickered!

sound like winners... i dunno what book they follow but as far as i know there's no dyno testing involved in inspection.

[Tim99Zr2]

i didnt get it inspected yet.. work needs to be done to it first

it wasnt a dyno test for hp and stuff lol, it was something for revving the engine or something i dont remember, dont quote me on that lol. but idk if you guys are familiar with a turbo timer, but my friend was told that his car was broken because it didnt turn off with they took the key out. they also stalled his car 3 times.

this thread has convinved me to do my s-10 next...it looks simple

haha, thats the key word..

mine went smooth because i researched it for 2 months before turning a wrench on my truck. it also helped that im a certified welder, so i can make, think out, and fabricate things such as the mounting brakcets, axle perches, front x-member, tranny x-member, shackles, and a drive shaft.

this kind of shit cant be takin on by the everyday person.

but thanks for the props. and glad i encouraged you to do yours! ask me if you have any questions!!

[zach5150]

i will man..i ma a certified welder as well..and have fab skills only thing im worried bout is the drive shaft, the rest i can build pretty much liek you did..and i would be worried about the lining up of all the springs and shit to make sure everything isperfect

[Tim99Zr2]

my truck is within 1/16" of each measurement.. it wasnt too bad (not as bad as it seems) and i got pics of my drive shaft in here, dont i?

[zach5150]

yea i got them....what about steering ? how does that hook up? does your push button 4x4 still work the exact same? my truck has 46k miles on it..it is a very very nice truck..i dont want to hack it up...

[Tim99Zr2]

haha, mine was nice.. but its nicer now!!

steering, i used stock tie rod, drag link from the 91 axle, and like a 06' rubicon pitman arm (heated up and bent) until i get a drop pitman arm from a jeep, they bolt right on to the steering box (i will eventually do i think cross over steering)

well, for the 4x4 when you would push the button, it would engage the t-case and front diff at the same time. as for now, my button only engages the t-case since i do not have vacuum hooked up to the vac loc on my axle. (dunno how to go about that yet) and im not too worried about it right now, since i dont have my DS on or gears.

[Baggey22]

Don't copy his steering. He can't turn all the way to the right. (not being an ass/mean Tim) There are alternatives

[zach5150]

hmm..yea..until i get all answers needed..and everything in line..im gonna chill and do research...but nice project man!

[zach5150]

exactly what im talking about..i do not want to mess up my truck in any way shape or form ...not sayign this is wrong..but it is not close to a stock setup ...i dont mind a IFS, cause my truck will prolly NEVER see mud, but, im not crazy on spending 2000 for 8 inches of lift....NOT counting wheels and tires

[Tim99Zr2]

exactly.. live and learn. also i just didnt have the funds to get everything i wanted right from the get go.. thats another thing, if you can. wait til you have all your parts for your swap!!

baggey, i understand. (i forgot about it hitting the springs) thank you for looking out for me.

notice i at least said im changing it?

and thanks alot zach!!

[zach5150]

how are u gonna fix that problem? i wanted to run leaf springs as well..not a big coil fan....and not to start stealing from ur thread....but what parts will i need......i saw the axle..and steering shti from jeep..but has to be more

[Tim99Zr2]

hmm, let me look. i got a list of all the parts / i need to buy and price estimates somewhere.. baggey, where is it?

i am going to do cross over steering like baggey to correct it!

[Baggey22]

Like Tim said I'm doing crossover steering. I'm gonna do a full write up on how I do it for everyone on this site. Hopefully it'll become a sticky or something.

[zach5150]

hmm...lol yeah half of the abbreviations..i dont know what they mean..im coming from a baggedn body dropped s-10 background....just dont know waht is better..easier..cheapier..IFS lift or sas

[zach5150]

dunno...i may just 2 inch BL, crank torsions so it sits level...and throw some 32's under it with some big rims....just for summer time

[Baggey22]

Which abbreviations don't you understand?

My rims will be available soon

[Tim99Zr2]

SAS is def cheaper, stronger, more realiable, and just badass.
IFS is blah, blah, blah, and blah.

but you mentioned you dont wheel yours alot, will it be worth it to SAS?

[zach5150]

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/XD-RO...spagenameZWDVW

what if i did somethin like these on some 32's? would the backspacing on these fit?

[Tim99Zr2]

now you know yours not that good


haha, kidding!! ill def use it

[zach5150]

it wotn be wheeled...no...but i want it to be dependable...relaible..stronger..and definitly be able to get the lift i want out of a non-zr2....you just cant seem to get the same stance out of a IFS

[Baggey22]

no matter what you're gonna have rubbing issues unless you trim. Are you good with a sawzall?

[Tim99Zr2]

KMC Rockstars FTMFW!!

i think they would fit, might rub your frame a lil. (i dont know much about wheels)

and is your s10 a Z or reg? i dont think you will be able to get 32's with that type of lift on a reg s10. althou im not certain.

[Tim99Zr2]

my IFS i think had a rather nice stance.. but im a little higher since im a Z and i had to trim ALOT for 33s

[zach5150]

yea i was told the same.....so therefore...i need to SAS and go 33's....
