Last month I had dual exhuast run from a set of special heddmen headders (WHOLE SEPERATE ISSUE THERE, Any one else have offset engine and get non offset headers :scared: )

and she was bogging down at full throttle due to no o2 sensor... So ill get pictures of the remedy later. I Had an h pipe installed and an o2 bung welded to the right of it and I installed a 4 wire o2 sensor from a 99 s10. Works great ill do a write up with pictures later if any one wants. Its now running great.

In the process of putting the bung on I got some time to check out things closer with it up on a lift.

ok i know its rubbing on the rim but how do i fix that? And are these drop spindles or just hacked springs? or......

next is the back leafs.. flip kit? But the passanger side is missing that "pin" as well as that "clip" looks bent...is this serious?

The rear is a flip kit. And those "clips" on the leaf spring need to be snugged up. The rubbing issue on the front look to be caused by the "rain gutters" on the lower control arms not being trimmed enough, or maybe the tie-rod rubbing, it is kinda hard to tell in the pic.

[praisethelowerd]

ok. so its alright to trim those lower controll arms huh. Awesome. bump for any knowledge on the front, the shocks look stock so i assume its drop spindles...which would allow me to use stock shocks (need replacing) correct? and the back being a flip kit.. would that too allow for oem shocks?

[TheBigMortboski]

I think you'd need shorter shocks in the rear for a flip kit.

And I think that S-10 needs one or two more spoilers.

[phoebeisis]

Your truck looks very nice- looks a bit like those Harley Davidson Fords-orange and black.Expensive lookin' paint job!

Oh, the S-10 with the spoilers-redneck version of a Ricer I guess-ALL SHOW NO GO!
Nice paint- it would be nice lookin' minus the spoilers!

[kdhs10]

Not sure about the shocks, but I can see that they used shock extenders in the rear.

[praisethelowerd]

Ok..i can see what your refering to. Thats would make sense to fit stock shocks then...awesome
