Hella squeeky and bumpy S-10

skullsmasher · 10-15-2005, 04:03 PM

My 03 S-10 is hella squeeky and bumpy after I cut the front coils about half off, put on drop spindles and drop leafs with no block. I wanna know what I can do to smooth out the ride and eleminate the squeeking. Any ideas?

heres my truck (the wheels just look bigger cause I fucked withthe picture in photshop, they are really only 17")

Squeaking would mean rubbing metal somewhere......maybe you lowered to far?

Buy a set of drop springs, it might be the cut spring rubbing in the perch

for a better ride you could use weaker coils and mount your standard shocks
on the side of the frame ,Ive done it before on later model s10's of course its
not going to be able to hop and the shocks will restrick the cylinders , but you have to compromise between wanting hop or have a smooth ride , it could be done you just find someone who's good at installing . The same thing can be done for the back ,as for the squeaking a little bit of grease helps alot hope this helps
