Welcome to the forum! Wow, I got first reply. lol. Everyone got their own opinion. Here is mine. I don't recomend too much tbar crank'n. All ya do is prematurely wear the CV shafts out. The best way to get height is either and/or suspension lift or the lowest cost effective way is to do a BL (body lift). You'll find a wealth of info on this list. From mild mods to extreme mods. Everyone finds their happy point, I'm at mine right now, I think. LOL.

Welcome

The S-10 & Sonoma Crew Cab Website has a link to the Mod Information page. That would be a good place to browse some prospective mods.

Searching here will yield tons of info too.
