Zr2 rear in a second gen 55

[Dave0]

Anyone use the springs, and perches out of the s10?. (Changing to s10 perches) I got a smoking deal on one, they cut the frame off at the back of the cab and sold it to me. The track bar is there too but I dont think I will be using it. I would like to put the whole thing in, springs, spring mounts and rear end.

Ive searched all over and came up empty...

Not sure about the S10 rear- check your width from drum to drum.

I'm using a rear out of a '77 Z28 that fits like a glove in my TF.

S10 will be narrow and mounting springs might not work on TF, it might work on AD truck.

I just sold my S10 ZR2. The rear in that particular truck is quite stout. I don't remember the exact specs. However I do know that it is 4 inches wider than the stock S-series.

As far as using the ZR2 suspension. In my opinion it is pretty heavy duty. If you are building your truck to be a 4x4 then yes use these spings, but if you are looking at lowering the truck, there are better options out there.

[Dave0]

Yes it will be lowered.

I do have a set of springs on the zr2 clip and I have a pair of stock 2wd s10 springs also. Also with all of the brackets on them...
