lowering s10 ?s/ and front end ?s

[lckycharm713]

hey guys, how have you all been? it been a while since i last came on. im looking for some help about lowing my 1995 s10. i been busy, but my plan is to put a 350 in it and now im doing it. i want to lower my truck the most it can go without c-notching the frame. i dont want it slammed, but i do want it low. what do you all think? 4/4, 4/3, 4/5. im not sure what i can drop it, bur a 2/3 is not enough. also, with a 350 small block going in it, it adds about 200 extra punds to the front end. whats the best way to do this and best brands out there that will hold up. i know someone that just cut the springs, but im not doing that, i think i want to do lower controll arms or drop spindles. i dont know what is best. i may have to call up belltech. anyways, what you think? also, what mods should i do to beef up the front end. the ties rods are bad, pinion arm, idler arm are bad. i have to replace it all, but i want to go with better stuff then just stock. whats out there that i dont know about. if theres any v8 s-10ers out there, i would love to get your help, thank you

A 4/5 drop would be the best looking, if your going for a 350 you might want a 3/5 and then the extra weight would level out the front.

By the way Belltech makes the best in my opinion.

do a 4/5 kit, the v8 will take you an inch to inch and a half farther down, and go with 3'' springs and 2'' blocks in the rear and 2'' spindles with 2'' spring in the front, will cost a little more but it will have the best ride quality, witch reguarless to say, wont be the best anywase on a lowerd vehical, unless you go with air ride.... beltec, btw would be my choice of company

I'd go spindles over lower arms any day

and you can try a 3/5 and see how that looks
get the lowering springs for a 4.3 ...
