Re: S10 Frame Swap w/ AD and LS motor

99, he does have it to be adjustable by the same 3" as the cab mounts. Dropping would involve much more cutting of the tranny tunnel and other areas of the firewall that would conflict with the tranny (as well as raising the bed height) , but I know that many people opt for this. The kit is designed to be plug and play but I'm not sure my truck will align exactly with the parts, so I will be augmenting the system a bit.

Yeah the inner fenders are a drag, but there may be a way to make vertical cuts in them and them bend the bottom portions out (away from the motor) and reweld. I think I will try to find some spares (they don't necessarily need to be from an AD) just to practice on.

Re: S10 Frame Swap w/ AD and LS motor

cool, whats the lowest frame off height they offer? everything I'v seen seems a little high to me. But like you said, the lower you go the more you have to modify. That design seem different then their old one, I'v caught glimpses of. It enclosed the whole front of frame and had bumper brackets on it. I thought that looked pretty professional looking.
