FWIW, shocks don't prevent roll, they only delay it.

If you're not running hi steer you could probably make the stock bar work well too. It didn't work for me because it hit the frame at the angle i had to run it at to clear the drag link.

Hey toy I really the km2's. I've had a few different tires but I'll be sticking with these, better than mickey Thompsons Baja claws. just they like to dig in the sand. not to loud in my opinion ive heard worst from my dads nitto grapplers.

so I got some pics .... don't know if I covered it but I am going to get different shock hoops ones that are larger as in taller I have barley an any up travel space left on my shocks ... have to figure out track bar but truck drives straight just has alittle bit of bump steer
heres a picture of the reamer I used for the pitman arm

I think I want to cut of front cross member and flip pitman arm around opinions





oil pan clearance its close but no way it will ever hit

does any one have a s10 blazer 10 bolt rear that they have laying around and can measure the axle shafts or has a way of getting them ... moser axles doesn't have factory measurements... yes I can easily measure mine but I don't feel like buying gear oil

Looks pretty tight under there... Cutting the cross member out / running an astro box will definitely free up some room.
Id also think about getting some bump stops fabbed up just incase.
Edit: check out the Ford F250 shock towers PN E5TZ-18183-A. I swapped my ORD hoops for them to get a better angle.

there no clearance issues with the axle coming up and hitting something but I am concern about adding the track bar might

Busy thread! I don't run a front sway bar right now, but have a rear sway bar, and plans to install a front sway bar. It really isn't bad to drive except for windy highways. It's still composed, but it leans pretty good.
The KM2s are great! As good as my Swamper TSL SXs on the Jeep in the mud, but better everywhere else. definitely buying them again!
Shocks make a big difference for stopping sway, the stop the momentum from side to side(sway).
I used trail gear shock hoops, they were a simple weld in with NO modifications.
It looks really tight for steering clearance. Astro box and remove the crossmember, or move the axle rearward.
With leaf springs you really don't need a track bar.
