Re: S10 chassis wheel spacer question
are you going to bag the truck? if so, lengthen the arms 2" per side. S10s have a nasty habit of toe out when bagged on large wheels, lengthening the arms solves this by changing the angle of the upper and lower. I would hate to see you widen the frame 4" and need a creative solution to widen the cast center link only to find you have toe out issues that chew up your tires. by lengthening the arms you can also just get longer tie rods tubes from UB machine. I did it on my 65 on an s10 chassis, had control arms made 4" longer and ordered tubes, no weird camber or toe issues. You can lengthen the arms yourself, but be careful, the lowers angle forward and the uppers rearward, so you cant just make them longer, you need to mark a line on the arms perpendicular to the frame and lengthen on that axis only, so the balljoints end up in the right place and they are 2" further from the frame along that line.
if you arent bagging it, take lots of pictures for us.
