well first and formost, ive already lowered mine, and if you dont have access to the "specialty" tools, drop spindles are the only thing i reccomend, i did springs, but i also did mine in an automotive shop, and in the back i put leaf's and drop blocks, both were easy, but if you go with springs remember, s 10's are directional, meaning you can install a leaf spring the wrong way and it pushes the wheel back to far... all in all, if you know you dont have much cash in hand, wait... its expencive, and then when its down there, its anoter 40 bucks to align the toe, and if your camber comes out of align... whooo that is expencive because our trucks need shims, meaning its labor intencive to re-do the camber angle...
