Ok, ive looked arounda bit and need some help. I am a huge fan of minitrucks and the modified truck scene. I own a 2003 Chevy S-10 Ext. Cab. I am looking to lower it with air bags and 18" rims. Where can i go to get information on how to do it. I have a fair bit of knowledge but just need the details. I am not looking to bring it to a shop, i would like to complete this project all on my own. So if anyone has any links or videos to help me out i would appreciate all the help. Thanks.

check out the tech section of minitruckinweb.com, or you could use suicidedoors.com and the others bolt in kits for the dime.

OK now the part where im more or less confused is on the rear. Do i just bag it or would it be a smoother ride to 4link it? I know the front is a pretty straight forward drop but i need help in the rear.
Also do you guys suggest a body drop on the s-10? If so how far? I would like it to lay down as far a she can go. Thanks for the help.

Body Drop? Some would suggest it, others would certainly NOT. As for me? No. My interior is done and that's just not something I want.

on my 95 dime with a 2.2 and 5 speed the magical number is 2 5/8 inches for the body to be flush with the frame. I just ran some square tubing across the bottom of the frame then measured up to the rockers. i'm planning on having my dime body dropped without airbags. I can't afford the bag setup now, but i can do the body drop for free.
