Bags, cups, and 2" drop spindles. A cut off wheel in a 4.5" grinder to clear the frame around the bag and notch for the tie rounds. A welder to box in the tie rod notches in the frame. I know someone will bring up the BLF no notch tie rods but I wouldn't suggest them because of all the problems they have been having lately. And you'll have to relocate everything on the inner fenders and possibly cut out the inner fenders if the wheels hit.

I got a question for anyone whos put a set of the new dominator 2500 on a 2nd gen s10. just looking at the bags they look like Ima have to cut out the spring pocket to fit them. will i need to cut or no?

any bag you put in the front of an s10 you will have to do some cutting, i dont give i shit if your houdini

There are slams in the front of this truck 2500 bags NO CUTTING. Most mini guys that dont care about ride quality will through a 2500 in so they dont have to cut to fit a 2600. Its fine for a 4cyl single cab but a 6cyl ex cab proabably should have a 2600. I got the dominator 2500 because there lift capacity is much more than a normal bag would at the same psi. but there also looked to be a lil bigger than say the slams that are in the truck now.

like i said all s10s should have some trimming on the lip of the spring pocket to have some breathing room and be comfortable, we have put every conceivable bag in an s10 weve bagged over 50, thats no shit too.
