Slide-a-links are installed and damn at the ground clearance. Still got some of the weight on the lift. New competition engineering adjustable shocks mounted all 4 corners. Also got the drive shaft in for the final time. Got the Spicer adapter flange and the Spicer double sided U-joint in. Lucked up and the drive shaft is gonna work without any shortening or lengthening. All that's left is to adjust the bars out and hopefully if I go to the store and get oil, tranny fluid, and antifreeze/water might see if it makes some noise tomorrow.

I was hoping to have a video up by now of at least a idle clip but I'm having wiring issues. I can't seem to figure out why I have no power to the ignition switch. Battery and starter is hot but nothing while turning the key. I'll be trying to contact Jared at cpw tomorrow to straighten things out.

I dont know how or if its even possible with that setup, but if it were me id rethink those bars some how.. With the tires flat the lowest point of the vehicle should still be able to be off the ground, so in the case of a blowout the only thing in contact with the ground is the wheel and still have a chance to be in control of the vehicle..
I dont know where i read that here or somewhere else, but makes good sense to me.. But its your truck and project obviously just thought id bring it up, but dam those are low, i hope you dont have any uneven terrain around there.. that **** would bottom out around here with some of the potholes we have..lol

Shorter block would be your best bet but you are lowered every single s10 I have seen lowered with a traction bar setup like yours the bar hangs that low. I personally would leave them if you ever have a tire blown out or what ever its just gonna bend the mount all up anyways. Plus you could always cut the rear mount down some and reweld it back on but then you run the rick of getting them really close to the leaf spings.
