UPDATE: From Lifted to Lowered
*Moved*
Hey guys, long time no talk too...
Anyways, i will be converting my truck in a lot of ways back to stock "kinda"...
I already put factory air box in w/ K&N, took out all LED's on the interior, Removed 7 color LED Underbody kit, Replaced speedo cluster with a factory one w/ super bright white LED's, Upgraded to All Leather Interior w/power, etc
I'm trading my Fabtech lift for a Belltech 2/3 Drop that my buddy has on his blazer... with the belltech, i am also getting a disc brake rearend out of a 99 blazer for my Project S10 which i will post pics in the build thread.
So i think i am getting a far trade...Im tired of terrible gas mileage due to the tires, no cat in the exhaust, the loud roar of the exhaust...lol maybe cause im getting old, lol jk
I am also upgrading to the 99 GMC frontend. I have the hood already from my factory 96 frontend. I got the headlights, grille and bumper for free from the Junkyard i work at.."always a plus".
Im using my factory wheels for right now until i get some 18's or 20's. There is also a wrecked 97 4 door blazer at the Yard with a Xenon Body Kit that is in PERFECT condition, that i am gonna grab...i wont be able to use the front valance of the body kit with the 99' bumper.
Im putting factory exhaust back on except using a high flow cat and hushpower exhaust by Flowmaster.. SHHHHHHHH w/perfomance
The look i am going for is a lowered factory GMC with performance (already have Hypertech, Airaid Throttle Body Spacer, removed Restrictor Plate 4.11 Gear Pos).....I already upgraded to All Leather interior w/ power....Fixed my AC that i havent had in 3 years.
So this is gonna be a nice family SUV, that has a comfortable ride, and yet still can boil off a set of tires if need be...LOL
What yall think????

1. Sounds great. Lowered look, performance upgrades, 4.11 gear ratio. Kinda like a 2nd gen ty/sy but not so nuts its not a dependable family ride. Lookin foreward to the build which brings me to...
2. Take pics

Sounds sexy, i've been debating dropping my rear end to sit level for a while! your blazer is what i've been craving to do for the longest

Man, you've got some good plans for this truck. Can't wait to see a finished dropped Jimmy!
Yeah, I want to lower my truck and get some rims, too, but I have to build up my bank account first, haha.

2wd or 4wd? That makes a big difference in how low you can go and cost. 2wd can go lower but costs more to drop and involves more work. There are several forums you can search on that specialize in lowering S10's. I will warn you though, they are not very friendly when it comes to questions that have already been answered even though the answer is vague.
