i have a 98 white s-10 regular cab and i am wondering what i should do with it. last year i took care of some minor rust in a few spots. over the next year i want to take care of the rest of the rust, which isnt much, and i want to get larger tires. its 2 wheel drive and i want to keep stock rims, so any sugestions as to what tires i should get whoud be appreciated. i want tires that arent huge but fill in the wheel wells nice and have a wider look then what i have now. i also want to get "helper springs", those thing you put on the leaf springs to keep the truck from sinking when its loaded. also my truck leans a lil on the driver side, but visually it looks like its only the rear driver side that has this problem. anyways any siggestions as to why its leaning and how i should get my truck lookin new would be great also, tell me if u think i should do this or just leave it alone.

if your truck is leaning your spring has collapsed assuming all your tires have = pressure and your on a flat surface.. i have a 1998 ext cab and mine leans on the passenger side. the springs need to be replaced. i would purchase a 1 or 2 inch lowering kit. that wont drop it drastically but with your stock tires it will fill in the wheel wells better. you can lower the rear the same or 1 inch more than the front to make the truck level. these kits are cheap on ebay. since you need front springs anyway you might as well. the 1-2" lowering kit is front springs and rear blocks for the leaf springs. good luck!

Instead of bigger tires, drop the suspension 1-3 inches.

you said have a regular cab, is it a short bed or a long bed...? if you have the short bed then there really shouldnt be that much space in you wheel wells asumming that the right size tires are already on your truck... if its the long bed then there will be some space there, and i dont thinking lifting a long bed would look right... i dont think lifting a 2wheel drive truck isnt right either but its all in your opinion, so you do what you want to... good luck
