The rear is just block lowered (looks like 3")..but somebody chopped a coil or two off the springs to lower the front.I'm thinking of installing the 3" dropped coil springs and shorter shocks when I rebuild the front end (it's all shot)..I just got the S10 a few days ago, it's an A/T with a V6.. seems so good so far (I alreadydid front wheel bearings, rear brakes,batt & Alt)..an oldie but goodie fer sure but I like it so far. A very cool body style.Guys were fighting over it to buy it..I got it for $1500.had toput another $500. in already.Great for hauling my music gear and my Chopper parts.

 

yea deffinitly go with the lowering springs chopped springs are no good they make the ride really uncomfortable eibach makes a great drop spring for a 2 in pair they are 180 bucks

 

i have 3" lowering springs for sale if u are interested

 

my suggestion would be to use drop spindles. afterall you said your rebuilding the frontend. buy the spindles and a 2 inch drop coil. i guarantee you will like the ride more than of a 3 inch drop coil.
