Kris, do they make Drop spindles for other Chevy light trucks that have AWD that you can use on the S-10 Blazer.

Just wondering, how much is this costing you...? I want to lower my 4x4 a few inches because I don't off road, but it is nice in the Michigan winters.

I have an 89 S10 4x4 pickup (Basically the same suspension) that i did 3" Blocks in the rear and cranked the front torsion bars all the way down, it did what i wanted, i like my truck level and a little lower than stock, all that extra work to do keys for another inch just isnt worth it to me, this way it still rides pretty normal too. Check out the pics, mainly look at wheelwell space above the tire first one is stock, second is after drop. This is the cheaper and easier option.

^x2^ those are for a full size not an s-series. I'm just glad I haven't ran into all of the horror stories I see all over the web of everyone having such a hard time removing parts like tbars and rear shackles. Mine have all came out with literally no effort other than removing bolts and grabbing them and moving them Here's a pic of mine in its lowered state tucking 31's up front lol!!

The #33004 is NOT for fullsize. They are S-10 Specific. The web site is WRONG.

I looked at about 5 websites and all of them say they are for a fullsize. Have you used them personally? If so I'd like to see some pics please.
