I don't know. My Jeep I just got has blocks on the rear axle. Big blocks, so i want to get rid of those and I should get about the same lift with the S10 leafs.

Check yourself real well before you buy them. I think there was some S10s sitting at the LKQ junkyard if you want to get them.

Got the wobble mostly taken care. After looking closely at the suspension I noticed the tie rod was bent some. Replaced it with a tierod from a grand Cherokee and all is well. Now to start tackling this stupid suspension setup. Got to get rid of the blocks and make some shackle relo brackets.

What are you planning to do? I am looking at building my own steering setup........and I have a welder and other tools that can make that happen, if you are interested in doing the same thing

Im not close but I have an older lincoln arc welder, my friend has a MIG, and another friend with a Hobart mobile ARC welder/generator(on a trailer). I have a BAG(Big *** Grinder) and a small grinder as well as work space in my garage.
After looking at all of the different options available, I am confident that I can build a 1-ton setup.............(famous last words)

Right now I am looking to do a 3 link on the front of my Jeep. Just trying to price out materials locally cause I know shipping will be killer. Might even have to look into the steering too. I know I would like to get rid of the stock stuff.

Building a 3 link is alittle more work than steering linkage, but if you can do it yourself, more power to you...........thats probably one part that I will buy pre-built.
