Hey everyone. Just picked up a little early 90s chevy s-10 4x4 to play around with. Was wondering if anyone had any suggestions about what brand suspension lift I should go with. I've already got plans for tires wheels and engine just dont know what to do with the suspension and axels. Any suggestions give me a holla. Thanks

well unless your putting full size drivetrain under that thing your gonna break parts... i see s-10s come in my ... or I should say towed into my shop, they have broken balljoints, knuckles, bearings etc....especially with big tires. light wheeling might be ok....but any pounding will break parts... and hopefully it has the 4.3.... the 2.2 is junk... the iron duke 2.5 is a better 4 banger.... personally... id put the s-10 body on a full size blazer frame......or you could put a RUNT kit on that frame( makes it look kinda like a jeep)

I have been wheeling my S-10 for a few years now, and ran 31 x 10.50's with a 3 inch body lift with no prolblems. When I went to the trailmaster lift, and 35's the cv-joints, and bearings, handled trail riding okay but a little bit of beating broke them. Another note, I have a lock right in the rear 7.5 inch with the 35's and have only broke 1 axle shaft in three years. These little trucks are stronger than a guy thinks, have fun.
