Been on this site too long as a lurker, wondering around and post a few words every now and then.  Figured its about time that I post up a build thread.  That and I'm stoked that I just got back from picking up some F-55 Deavers.

Up front I currently have: 3.5 spindles,   AIM long travel arms and springs, Fox shocks, Heimed steering tubular bumper skid plate and of course glass fenders.

In the back: 4:10 rear with g80 gov. locker, 2" shackles, removed overload spring, old Fox 10" internal bypass shocks and a tire gate.
Tires: 31" BFG TA's on Mickey Thompson aluminum wheels.

If i remember correctly I was talking to Mike from the Pirate Lab and he makes a set of relocation hangers for the f55 to work on an S-10.  Just need to get in touch with him.
Pics coming as soon as I get my camera back from my family.

Ok, go the camera back. It's bad when you have to do something in exchange to get your own stuff back. But anyways here's the pics I said I'd post

I wanna get rid of the side steps, really limits me on what I can do back there.  When I first got the truck it was lowered and it looked great for a lowered truck. But now I'm just running into that I can't easily put glass bedsides on it without a ton of custom fab work.  If it wasn't for me wanting to get a dirt bike, I'd just trash the bed and put just bedside back and a bed cage and call it good.  But i wanna keep some of the function of the bed.

joe rogan: If i remember it right its a 3" bulge?? I'll get you that pic of the skid plate tomorrow.

Yarf: Nope, its was lower than an extreame. That's what drove me to hating lowered trucks. It rode like shit and i felt every bump on the road.
