Suspension Mods:
Front suspension: I wanted bigger brakes and 5-lug wheels so I converted the suspension to S10 componants.
Here's the LCA setup. I cut the ball joint sleeve off the S10 LCA I got at a local scrap yard.
The last thing I did was cut the springs and flattened them down. This was really easy by-the-way. Just need a torch to heat up the spring locally, bend it, and let it cool slowly... Here's a pic of the cut. I'll post a pic of the completed springs shortly:
OK so I decided to go with an adjustable upper control arms to resolve the camber problems with the S10 spindle. Here's a couple pix of them... One with me loving them a little. lOl.
