Installing 1982-2004 Chevrolet S10 2"/2.5" Lowering Kit by Rough Country

[@ericwells7777]

Nice job with the video I was thinking it was a lot harder to switch out the spindles on my 93 S10 and was thinking of having a shop do this but now Im confidant I could do this on my own...again, very good "how to" video...Thanks!

[@luissonoma6255]

How is the truck doing?

[@vegiguy16]

A much better way to lower the rear of a leaf spring vehicle is to either use springs with less arch (given the same spring rate) or to have the existing springs de-arched by a spring shop. I've never liked that using lowering blocks moves the springs closer to the ground.

[@johnnyturbo8460]

Why no picture of the finished product??????

[@williameast1445]

Wish there was a before and after but excellent how to video two thumbs up

[@TxJonathan]

Very good video can't wait to lower my blazer.

[@opparigo3470]

Well explained ! 10 of 10.

[@electricguysvcs]

Concern I had - when using drop spindles is it okay to install tie rod (outer) the same direction as it was taken out? Or should it be reversed facing down?

[@JoseMejia-cg4bs]

You should of showed the truck sitting on the ground after the kit was install

[@timwilliams632]

Nice video. Please grease the NEW spindle!

[@Builtaroundnature]

A before and after photo would’ve been great using same wheels. Literally would’ve purchased them right now. Any where I could get a before and after using stock wheels?

[@andrewramirez3332]

apparently they don’t fit with stock wheels

[@onewheelup]

2005 chevy blazer is TOTALLY different,got a 2 inch front and rear from bell tech.

[@youtubeisbroken241]

I can’t believe the suspension stayed the same for that long of a run

[@kramnull8962]

It is the same basic design as all the way back to 60's novas and Chevelles. only different frame length and width.

[@CristianLopez-ne3ns]

Nice video! Obviously you can see that the shocks were replaced I'm the rear but looking at the kit it doesn't look like it comes with any shocks for the front or rear? I'm guessing it will be necessary to buy new shocks for this kit to work right?

[@rcaholicfab3671]

Cristian Lopez I talked to a guy on their life chat and he said stock shocks work

[@camdenmichener6853]

Does this work with a 4x4 too? Not necessarily keeping the 4 wheel drive if I can’t but will it still bolt up?

[@ozzplasencia1416]

Will it make it hit hard on bumps? Or will ride smooth?

[@RoughCountryTV]

The price is $229.95. It will clear 20 inch after market wheels, depending on the tire size that are on the wheels.

[@nicjohnson2665]

Will it work with 14 inch rims

[@KhawChing]

Starts with stock rims nut shows aftermarket rims going back on. So the video did not address the question I have. With the drop spindles in the front, is a larger than stock rim diameter needed?

[@antdaddy0]

I'm surprised the socket did not split or shatter on install. Guess that just regular people doing install no ASE certificates here. Use only impact type sockets with a impact gun man.

[@lifewithron4466]

do y’all have one for a 2001 blazer 2wd all i see is ones for a s10

[@RoughCountryTV]

+saljbruno Those are Vision Milani Bel Air wheels.

[@byrontillman4184]

Still looking for the information about the rear shocks with the lowering kit for s10

[@RoughCountryTV]

This kit allows you to run the OEM stock shocks

[@markonpoint3219]

Just wish they showed how it looked sitting afterwards

[@hebermarvin78]

It would be nice to se the finished product????

[@brianneston2688]

82 through 2003 was the two wheel drive they discontinued the two-wheel drive in 2003 2004 model 4-wheel drive crew cab standard

[@nicholasyoder]

I have a 1997 Chevy SS s10. Do I already have drop spindles from the factory or can I buy some and install them?

[@RoughCountryTV]

You will have spindles on your truck, yes. But you will not have drop spindles. Those are included in the lowering kit. You would have to remove your stock spindle and install the drop spindle.

[@nicholasyoder]

Rough Country well it came lowered from the factory I think because it's an SS and it does have lowering blocks in the rear

[@elpulpo4585]

Whats the price for that kit. For an 89 s10. And will it clear 20 inch after market wheels?

[@jamesrobin9961]

This dude definitely seems to know alot about handling nutts?

[@KILOKEYZ101]

Will this fit on a 05 jimmy ? If so do you sell lowering kits 2.5 in the front / 3 in the back for a 05 jimmy

[@natezahradnik]

What was the reason for replacing the rear shocks? I just put all new shocks on my pick up and if i was to use this system, would I need to use different shocks? In other words, does it change the shock distance at all?

[@RoughCountryTV]

+Nate Zahradnik Yes it will require shorter shocks.

[@jimmyjohnny4854]

Ah but the shocks do not come with the kit. hmmmm

[@jsi4u2nv]

Actually no it doesn't change the shock distance. It uses the same factory mounting points. The blocks lift the rear axle closer to the body but the leaf springs remain in the stock position! If you were to replace the springs with lowered ones then it would affect shock travel.

[@akafungi-eater1233]

Im a Proud new owner of a 90's S10 durango. Sound like stupid question but would this kit work aswell on a durango model.

[@RoughCountryTV]

Sorry this would not be compatible with that vehicle. We do not offer anything for that make and model as S-10 is manufactured by Chevrolet and Durango is manufactured by Dodge.

[@akafungi-eater1233]

@@RoughCountryTV my truck is a chevrolet S10 Durango. 1990.? I'm not dumb I'll make video n post with link to prove it's a s10 durango

[@Stevo-xe9jw]

@@akafungi-eater1233 Sorry if I'm late to the party sir. The "Durango" designation is strictly the trim level of your particular S10, mostly the interior trim. I had a 1990 S10 with the Durango trim. Yes, if it's a 4x4, then this will work.

[@akafungi-eater1233]

Any future plans for a kit for a 1991 ranger?

[@joeyrivas7473]

what size are does blots holding the upper joint and the lower joint

[@RoughCountryTV]

I am assuming you are referring to the ball joints?

[@nature_guy]

Can someone tell me how tight the upper and lower ball joint nuts should be? Also I bought a knuckle but I did not get new cotter pins.. What are the size of the cotter pins I need to get? Thanks!

[@RoughCountryTV]

I do not have the dimensions for the cotter pin. However it is the stock size. If you could get with a dealership or manufacturer of the truck they could get you the size of the cotter pin.

[@johnathondaerr7423]

Do you need to realign the front end after messing with the tire rod end?

[@danielgresham4763]

After adding the new drop spindle yes! I had too at least

[@brianneston2688]

S10 has made in 82 has two regular cab stem cap in 1983 the regular cab was discontinued in 2003 and regular cab crew cab was made in 2001 boo 2004 Harley and four-wheel drive

[@pl747]

Are the rear lowering blocks the open type or the good solid steel ones? They look like the open type.

[@RoughCountryTV]

This kit has the hollowed out blocks.

[@jontwitty402]

what the largest size tire you.can run on it after u lifted it

[@chrisrivas8157]

I see you guys replaced the shocks for the rear aswell where can i get those at?

Where can i get a set of spindels for my 75 Nova ???

[@RoughCountryTV]

We do not offer any spindles for a 78 Nova. I would recommend checking with Fat Bob's Garage.

[@mikebaconheart2620]

What about front end alignment after install ???

[@RoughCountryTV]

Front end alignment is required after installation.

[@Cjdjdjxj]

Where is the Video for the Lift Kit ?

[@jake12.48]

They still don't have a video for their 2" lift. Did you ever put it in? I'm looking for advice before I tackle it

Can someone pleas tell me if you need new shocks for 3 inch blocks? Thank you

[@hayden9102]

No but might as well replace them anyways

[@DoonerA]

At what point did you chain down the front coil springs?

[@RoughCountryTV]

Not necessary. This easy-to-install lowering kit features a simple, 100% bolt-on installation process

[@mardariusjohnson5468]

Is this the same way to lift the truck ?

[@jake12.48]

Did you ever put in the lift? That's I'm looking at doing.

[@chaystevens6509]

I have the kit and my tire rode is really close to my rim what did I do wrong?? Lol

[@RoughCountryTV]

Is that before or after front end alignment?

[@chaystevens6509]

Rough Country both

[@JD-og9fv]

Chay Stevens just curious. Are you running aftermarket rims? With wider offset? Or all stock wheel and tire? Also what year do you have? Don’t mean to ask so much. Just wanna do my research and get some knowledge from someone who’s installed the kit. BTW Sorry for the lateness🤷🏼‍♂️

[@Defund_HOA.]

What kind of shocks did you use on the drop kit? I plan on lowering my s10 with this kit & I was told it's highly recomended to replace the shocks when doing so..

[@theodoresierra5966]

Beating the shit out of the knuckle is going to do nothing but bad things. Proper way to get the ball joints is using a ball joint separator as well as a tie rod end separator.

Please please use a torque wrench grease your axles and for the love of god don’t use Chanel locks for your spindle nuts. Ball joints tie rods spindle nut and shackles all have torque specs
