      you'll have to measure your pinion angle before and after to determine if you will need shims or not

      no such thing as 5" blocks and if there is then they shouldn't be any where a vehicle

      the 4.3's are good, i have the TBI and CPI and the cpi has a lot more power

        Sorry for being a noob but how do you measure the pinion angle?

          angle finders are about $5
          you can usually eyeball it to around where it should be

            Okay so let me get this straight.... if I buy an extended cab then I'll have the crossmember issue... Im assuming if I get the 4.3L I'll have a Y-pipe issue.

            Also, I currently have the 97-04 3" drop springs, and 97-04 2" drop spindles, and 97-04 3" drop leaf springs... if I end up buying a 94-96 model (not the older boxy one, but the first gen of your body style) will those parts bolt in correctly?

              94-97.5 ext. cabs dont have the carrier bearing issue, but yes you'll probably want to get a new y pipe made up.

              the springs, spindles and leaf springs are swappable on all years of s10's, from 83-04
              95-97 blazer have different leaf springs, and 98+ blazers have different spindles and leaf springs

              • Sooo..a hidden pothole got in the way while I was turning into a parking lot and screwed up my toe angle and now I have a bald tire, even worse it is now flat. Soo I have to use my other car for now until I get that fixed. Might as well take out the middle leaf spring while I'm at it.
