Awesome video, haven't watched you videos for some time, only because I've been working on the 3rd shift at a new job since last year, also at the same time, I had my 01 Sonoma dropped 2 inches in the front with a pair Belltech 2102 Drop Spindles, 2004 Corvette C5 13" slotted and cross drilled disc brakes and Corvette C5 dual calipers during the summer last year, better stopping power than OEM for the 18x8's

Had an 87 s10 2 door blazer and a 91 single cab that were 6/8 static, all beltech. My 85 2 door s10 blazer was originally 6/8 static but the coils and shocks were replaced with bags. My 89 s10 2 door blazer is a 6/6 static drop and with the stereo system in it is 6/8. The others (88 single cab, the other 91 single cab, the other 85 2 door blazer, 86 2 door blazer)were all stock height. Yes you could say i like my 1st gen s10s and blazers. It all started with the 88 single cab.

Spindles 1st then coils. If you go coils 1st you'll probably have a raised portion of the roof due to hitting your head every time you hit a bump. Actually rides worse than 1 with hydraulics.

I always recommend getting spindles and leafs to start with. Will retain most of the factory ride and specs. That gives you a 2/3 drop. And you can adjust from there depending on the look you're going for.

Yeah I'm not sure why its that way. It honestly wasn't very tight. The cotter pin would stop it from backing out still.
@oldfag_adventures
@oldfag_adventures Жыл бұрын
you should always torque the nut down first then continue to tighten until your pin holes line up. doing it any other way will lead to excess wear and even failure. if the hole is over the top of the castle nut slots then instead of wrapping the pin parallel to the threads wrap it perpendicular to the threads with one arm of the pin being pressed down into the castle and the other wrapping over the end of the stud. failure to torque tie rods down will bare minimum give you a very annoying clunk and lots of slop in your steering

I just did something similar a few weeks back. You were seriously making me cringe sticking your fingers in the coil while raising the lower arm. Good safe method (next time) get a 2'piece of 1/2" all thread - 2 square washers and 2 nuts take the shock out and run the all thread from top to bottom with the square washers on top and bottom. If anything EVER comes loose it will not let the coil come out plus you can can compress with turning the nuts.
