how do i perform a body drop on a chevrolet s10?

Question

2.8, automatic, custom airbag suspension, already gutted-ready to cut up

Answer 1

A true body drop Is done by moving the mounting points higher. We only do up to a 2 inch body drop, have seen some extreme 4 and 5 inch drops.

Okay we start off with the cab, cutting out the floor board. reattaching 2inches Higher in the cab, Yes you loose 2inches of head room and the floor space at the peddles is a bit tighter. Remount the the cab, you will have to trim here and there but not to much. Next is the radiator mount we cut 2inches out of the middle and weld back together. Remount. We do not use the inner fenders. Test fit the front fenders you will need to reinforce them with some bracing. The Beds we do a lot of cutting and you know using bags and (a c frame) . You just cut and match the bed to the cab. That's the basics....

With bags all the way around you can lay the frame on the ground. We place polyurethane blocks in 4 spots on the frame to rest on the ground and save the frame.

Hope this might help you out

Answer 4

On most GM vehicles the rear drum brake shoes are the same shape and size for the metal or backing of the shoe. What is different is the length of the friction or wearing surface that is rivoted onto the metal. The physically longer friction surfaced shoe is the secondary shoe and it is placed at the rear of the backing plate on both sides. Hence the reason that they are interchangeable as left and right both have to have the longer shoes mounted towards the rear of the vehicle. If you take the shoes off of one side and they look the same, make sure you didn't install both secondary shoes on one side which would have both of the primary shoes on the other. As you said, they will all fit on the same way. Make sense?

I think you'd better check this out at a local repair garage. There are many trustworthy ones. I usually search in car repair directories to find something good.
