Mine is all Porterbuilt suspension - They offer 55-59. There may be other companies out there as well, but it's who I used. I had never bagged / c-notched a truck so I went with what I thought was a good DIY offering. It's basically a bolt in operation for the back - the front is a bit more involved. I chose to plug weld / seam weld the kit instead of bolting it in, but it's pretty straightforward overall.....measured it 20x before I took the sawzall to the frame, that's for sure!

whats everyone running for lowers arms on their bagged a.d.s I've got speedway uppers and I'm going tho be notching the rear with a parallel 4 link just want the frame to lay and the running boards to lay flat with frame going to try and mount the cab as low as possible

for the s10 frame, the stock lowers are fine. I didn't even have to dehump mine. and I was maybe 3" or under off frame, RB hit ground. You can find some threads online s10forums and such, on how to dehump the arms if you need. Personally, lower arms are pricey and the stock lowers do the same thing. I rebushed mine, which was $75 I do believe, so new balljoints and bushings you got yourself in around 150$ give or take. Even if your lower arms where no good, I would find a used set or buy some OEM s10 arms. again its just one area where its not necessary spending hundreds of dollars on, esp early on in a build. Just my take

I used tubular upper and lower nice stuff link below. My frame sits about 3" off the ground. Cab is about 1/2" off the frame.

I have an air cylinder that ties into the existing air system, so all you have to do is push a button and wala; the bed tilts up. The air cylinder also keeps the bed down.
