Hey guy I have a 2000 s10 fully bagged that i would really to have it lay frame. my front is good it is just my rear that need to come down. I know it is hitting on the tranny cross member, I no i need to mod it. But after that if it still does not get me on the ground how could i lower the back. Can I "z" the back and not the front? what would be the easiest and fast way thanks ahead of time. here is the run down of my truck. WHAT ELSE CAN I DO

SUSPENSION MODS INCLUDE:
-KP Cantilever 6 link in rear
-Thorbeck Bros. tubular upper and lower control arms in front
-Slam Specialty Bags
-1/2" Valves/Lines
-Engine Driven Compressor (so no waiting on an electronic compressor to build up)
-10 Switch box (Front, Back, Side to Side, See Saw, Pancake, 3 Wheel, and independent bag release)
-Dakota Digital pressur gauge molded into tray to determine each bags PSI level
-Tubbed rear
-Arched c-notch in rear
-Front and Rear mounted air-shocks
-Relocated computer/battery
-Raised gas tank and custom bent exhaust for clearance

It sounds like you need some longer dog bones for your 6 link. They are 60 bucks for longer ones and they are bare. No bushings or anything. Its a freakin rip off. I cut mine in to, lengthened them to lay on 22s. No way in hell was i going to pay 60 bucks for that.

Im trying to get the pic up but i cant seem to figure it out. But the rear bags are compressing all the way. After looking a lil harder i seen that the cross member for the drive shaft is whats hitting. Think i will mod that then check back in. Thanks alot.. But i do got another question whats the best system to make my truck raise and lower easier right now my switches are very sensitive an the slightes touch makes it drop and raise fast. How can i slow it down???

just buy some plugs the same size as your valves and drill them out till your truck is at a better speed (IE If you have 1/2" valves drill out the plugs to 1/4" If you want it a little faster, drill the hole bigger)
