okay thanks a bunch man
and out of curiosity, how do minitruckers drop their rides so low and still keep everything looking right, geometry wise?

lol time, $$$ and the right combo of parts. if i remeber correctly there a few 5/6 drop kits out the for the s-series thatll keep the geometry fairly close if not the same as factory.

if ur not comfortable or do not have the right tools to tackle the spindle or springs (whichever you choose) i would take in somewhere to have it done, the block is fairly easy to install but again if ur not comfortable doing it your self then take it in. there will be no body work wat so ever involved and im not sure wat u mean by re-arranging internals, but after the spidle/spring install you will need a front end alignment.
