2wd or 4wd S-10?
Don't know if the 1500 springs would fit.
2.2L 4 cyl is a pretty tiny motor for 33's. Re-gearing? (so it runs deeper than stock)

Sell the low rider. Just changing the springs may not give you what you want. Go buy a 4x4 S-10 with a 4.3 V6 and go wheeling. I have a friend that has a stock S-10 Blazer and he has alot of fun with it. You will be supprised what a stock rig cn do.

Use some steel tubing the same size as your body mounts, But remeber that 3 inches youll have to change alot of other components out too. Brake lines, neck to your fule tank that kinda of stuff. AS far as tires 33's on there would be like trying to run 33s on a honda, you wont go anywere. Figure out what the factory size was and maybe pull of a couple inchs bigger.

I got the same truck you got, but mine is just to get me to work & back - no off road. That sorry @ss 2.2 plant barely turns the wide street tires I got on it. You put 31's on it and you won't get it up a bunny hill with that ride. re-powering with a 4.3 V6 is your only option, other than to put a turbo charger on it. I'm not sure if they make one for that dinky 2.2 engine. I wish I could do something with mine. I know I've tried, I just don't have the big bucks for it. I'd rather put the money to good use on my '77 K5. - just my opinion.
