edit: also, I saw your post about the wheels being too far forward in the wheelarches. it looks like you dont have any caster or camber shims installed yet. your wheels may be castered forward and this will give a pretty stiff ride. on all the s10s I have owned there have always been more shims in the back of the arm than the front, which will pull the wheel back slightly. if you are set at zero camber at your ride height, dial in a little, it will help with turn clearance and may be better for the tires than a zero setting. camber doesnt ruin tires, toe and camber together do.

Thanks for the info. Right now it does not have any shims installed. It needs a full alignment. I never thought about the Caster pulling the wheels back a bit. I am at zero camber at ride height with no shims.
