Me too. I recently put the 2 inch suspension lift but the key they sent me was wrong so we put everything else on it. It looks alot better but ride like crap when we cranked the tortion bar up.

I have a 04 Crew Cab and I would like to know what is the difference in my crew cab 4x4 and a crew cab ZR5?

Ok. There are alot of good ideas I am heading to my front end guy right now before I do anything and run this past him and then start I will let you know.

Hmmmmm. First I thought I did my research but I did not do enough but I had bought and I am sitting on the Rough Country lift right now. Not installed. I checked another site and a guy installed the kit and a month after installing the kit a Rough Country the key broke. Me I drag race Harleys across...

What is your opinion on my question above about the BDS 5 inch kit and smallest size tires? Getting way off topic, but wide 31" or narrow 33". The more tire the more balljoints. My opinion really is useless as I would not do a 5" or 6" IFS lift. How come? I value everyones opinion. It just seems li...

I am just confused on what I am going to do now??????

What is your opinion on my question above about the BDS 5 inch kit and smallest size tires?

BFG mud terrain, KO's or Goodyear MTR's for example

Oh, by the way I do thank everyone for their help. One other thing what if I scratch this idea and go with a 5 inch kit for BDS. What is the smallest tire that you can run and not look bad? Isnt a ZR2 3 inches taller than ours? [/i][/b]

If you crank until you preload the upper stops, then yes it is going to run rougher. Such is not the case with stock indexers adjusted to the max Z height for the s-series crew cabs.

How much lift can you get by cranking on the stock keys vs aftermarket keys? [/i][/b]

Yes, I had a 1/2 ton HD 4x4 and when I cranked the tortion bar and raised it 2 inches it rode like a tank. I was trying to keep a good ride. One thing that is confusing is if cranking the tortion bar up makes tears up boots and ball joints it seems like changing the upper control arm like on the RC ...

True what I am asking is that a stock rim if I am following right is 7 inchs with 6 inches of back spacing and I am going to a 8 inch rim what kind of backspacing should I be looking for? The most that I have been finding is 4 to 5 inchs.

The ones that I had handled good and rode good. They were quiter than alot of MT's.

The reason I was asking about the tortion keys was because someone told me that just installing the key get you 1 inch of lift. Yet does not affect the ride like cranking up the tortion bar without it? I know that on one of my old Z-71's I cranked up the tortion bar 2 inches and it rode like a tank....

Good read. At the moment still really don't want a body lift may have to.

What is wrong with the different index keys for the tortion bar?[/i][/b]

I am a newby to S-10's but I am confused? I understand that stock wheels have 6 inches of back spacing but...... If you go to 8 inch rims instead of stock what kind of back spacing do you use then? If you are spacing the wheels out with spacers why not just get less back spacing on the rims? Where ...

What is the mystery lift? I would like to know more. Yes I did check the codes and my truck does have 3.73 gears. I have not decided if I am going to keep it long term or not yet. I would have went with a suspension lift. I talked to the guy at BDS and he told me the smallest I could go on tires wit...

Well, I hunt and fish so I need my 4wd. I also take care of my family's farm when I am not working or drag racing on the circut. So, a 4wd is a must for me. The reason that I got a S-10 is I like Chevy but I wanted something small like a Tacoma to go hunting and stuff. I also have a Super Duty 1 ton...

Thanks. for the advise. I do like my truck it gives me 21-22mpg and it is a 4x4. So no complaints about that. It is just that I hunt and the truck looks like a 2wd. Which stinks. It is really a shame that there are not more options out there. When I was looking at spending 2,600 on a lift and 1,500 ...

Do a search and some reading on the 2" suspension lifts. There are not good options for a suspension lift under 5". I am not sure where your preconceptions for the body lift came from, but do some reading about those here as well. Hold on to your money and buy no lift or wheels at this time. Some r...

I have been all over the place on what I was going to do. I have decided to go with the Rough Country 2 inch lift kit. It should be here today. Since I am a newbe at S-10's I am look to all of you for advise. I have a 04 Crew Cab 4x4 LS it is not a ZR5. I picked this kit because I just wanted the tr...
