Yeah that is high $. It says you'd have to have welding done and probably plenty of other stuff as well. Here is one that I found Warthog posted this past july. It shows pictures of how it goes on and how it snaps to the frame.. "snaps" I wish! 94-04 Chevy S10 solid axle conversion kit (leaf springs)

Edit* this ones probably ok, but i dont really care about how the leaf springs bolt up to the frame in the back.

That one looks fine to me. If the way the rear leaf shackles mount bothers you bolt them on, and then weld them to the frame as well. That's what i would do.

There is a huge benefit of owning a ZR2:

Chicks dig 'em!

Mine is a chick magnet, my girlfriend tells me daily how awesome my truck is and she gets so excited when I let her kick it in 4 wheels and take it down a dirt road lol

Girls basically like vehicles that you have done work to, my last truck was a 5sp and my girlfriend at the time thought it was the sexiest thing in the world because she didn't know anyone else who could drive one!

Yeah, That would fix it right up. It would bother me otherwise.
