dropping a s-10

Ok i have a 02 s-10 and i want to drop it 3" all around, what all do i need? Also i am planning on air ride, so is it a waste of time to put on a lowering kit when i am going to bag it anyways? does anyone know?
Thanks, andy

The only lowering component you might want to buy, when installing air ride, is drop spindles (I have 2" spindles in my S-10). For the front, get new upper and lower control arms for airbags and the drop spindles. Step notch the frame in the back and install a 4-link. The second you step notch the rear frame and 4-link it, you don't need leaf springs or lowering blocks & u-bolts.

I agree with the dropped spindles. But if you plan on bagging it, save your money for that. As for the rear, i suggest a 2 or 4-link setup. And don't forget to cut that bed up to allow maximum drop.
