How do you make the polishing look so easy?. I polished a set of aluminum wheels for a mercedes once, and getting through the anodizing was a humongous pain in the ass. .

First step is hitting them with the air craft stripper. Then cleaning before starting the polishing process.

Busy weekend for sure. Belltech front shocks are in and driving like a dream. Pinon and rear dif cover seals have been replaced. My buddy Matt had a set of junk tires lying around in the size I was planning on running so we mounded them up to get a real test fit. This is where we are at.

Im not sure about the 195-55-16s now......... Don't know what tire to run. I like the look of the 195 55 16 but part of me feels like maybe I should run something different. Ultimately moar low is the plan. With the 195s I would be perfect for sitting lower. Im really particular when it comes to my stance. I now wish I woulda went with 1.25" spacers for the 195's. We will see if I can change that by h20, but as of right now this is gonna be pretty much how she sits for now.

Any opinions on what you think guys? Do I go with a bigger tire now cause ill be setting my self up for when I am lower and wider? Or do I try to make it work for the current stance?

I think it came out looking good, needs alittle poke in the front, but other then that I like it.

i really like it, the 2nd pic makes it looks like the rear could come down a little. how much more low you going for?

A lot more low, but im maxed out right now without custom fab work or I learn a little more about these S10's. Im currently looking into drop leafs and a c notch for the rear now. I don't know if the leafs will get me any lower with out doing a custom rear 4link setup. If that is the case, Im looking into doing it over the winter or spring with a custom coilover setup.

I agree I want more poke. 1.25" spacers will be ordered asap or at least by h20. Height wise though, this is where im stuck at for now. Not to bad for its first trip to h20 and only having it for a few months. By next season Ill have it looking exactly how I envision it.

Ok.......Just got off the phone with Haggard Fab. Trucks getting notched next Thursday. Now I just need to get some more cash together for my lowering leafs by h20.

With a notch the 4 link is all you need to be as low as you want. I think you only even need like a 2 to 3 in notch to lay frame.

Truth right there. Im going with just the notch for now so Im not sitting on my axle any more. Im also gonna order the rear leafs next week. then the 4link in the spring. Hopefully a custom coilover setup too. I can smell victory
