S10 redo..... Tre5 Customs

i guess they dont look that big on the truck haha. looks good get'r done

very cool idea for the notches!

LOOKS GOOD

looking good like the curved notch

day 2. Rear suspension is just about done. I still need to box in the rear frame where the notch ends and get a fresh coat of paint on everything.   I decided to do a simple 2 link setup in the rear. Only getting around 8" of lift (using an 8" cylinder) the 2 link works perfectly. Since the owner of the truck doesn't want to lay all the way out I was able to utilize the factory leaf spring hangers up front. It also allows the gas tank to remain in the factory location. The combination of all this helps keep the costs down for the owner.

it looks  like  one side of the lower mount has a bushing and the other side i heim joint  curious  why? 

I was going to do heims on both sides, but with the cylinders mounted on it it would rotate.

so why not do bushings on both sides instead of mix an dmatching stuff?

Because I like heims and the adjustability they provide. You are right though it could have been bushings on both sides. I just like to use heims whenever I can, they just look nicer as well.

ok  atleast  you had a reason
