Re: S10 chassis wheel spacer question

I thought about airbags breifly but decided against them for several reasons. cost and simplicity for starters. I have been an alignment tech for 23 years now and have seen how much toe changes with rideheight. One height will be fine with me.

By widening the frame 4 inches it will essentialy be a leafspring G-body chassis. the front suspension(and faults) are identical to the G-bodys other than the 4 inch difference in the crossmember and center link. I am planning on using either a standard g-body center link or a narrowed 80s camaro center link. Both the G-body and s-10 suffer from horrible bump steer. Adding the impala spindles technically will make it worse due to the outer tierod being lower. The camaro center link moves the inner tierods down and out alot compared to the stock setup. There will be some trial and error along the way but I do have a plan.

And there will be lots of pictures.
