Guys its only designed as a 2 inch lift, its not a 5 inch cradle that drops the front diff way down. There isn't much room to drop the front diff before you are rubbing the axles. The little bit will help but still imho worthless when the sfa kit isn't much more and you get way more from it.
I built my sfa kit and only have $50 in it. Add 100 for a dana 30 and 100 for springs if you have the stuff its much cheaper. The limited market of parts for a series that is out of production is gonna keep the prices high and the companies willing to design parts for us limited. Sometimes you just gotta take what ya can get or forge your own path.

87 bud, no abs on mine. Heck we dont have fender laws or sniff tests. I only have to keep my headlights below like 54 inches or something like that.
Over on s10forum they have the measurements for a ring that allows you to run the s-series bearing hubs. This allows you to keep your abs and wheel bolt pattern.

Other than that you just need somebody to remove the abs from the ecu. If ya want more infor on sas swaps on a friendly forum I suggest checking out s10extremist.org. Most of the same guys as s10forum but the maturity is higher over there.

would i still be able to tuck 31's under the back? Right now im running stock 235/7515 but i really want to run 31x10.5 15 in the back and the front and I know I wont have a problem in the front because I'm getting fiberglass front fenders and hood similar to this s-10
below ( this one is way more advanced then what im doing)

Without the drop brackets you can crank the factory front end (Limited to 1.5 inches) and do the same exact job as the keys. Save your money.
Shackles are 2 inche for every one inch of lift.
Ex. Say the stock shackles are 3 inches center to center of the holes making a set that is 5 inches center to center will gain one inch.
