That is Russell part # 640830 M16 X 1.5 to -6an

Yes the tall ball joints corrects the ill handling S10 camber problem when turning. It def helped !!

The front end use to push real bad in high speed sweepers,it now sticks like a rat in sneakers. LMAO

Is that all in primer or are you doing the "murdered-out" look? And what made you get rid of the S-10?

The Blazer had been repainted & they did a horrible job so I am going with the murdered out look & its easy to repair.

My son was getting older & didnt fit in the back of the S10 on the little jump seat & was uncomfortable on long trips so I got the Blazer.

Not at this time ...I got the 4.3 tuned & did some exhaust work & it is fun to drive as is.

Maybe down the road but I doubt it. The swap was cool but it also had its issues,leaks at the header collectors were the biggest issue & the radiator I used started leaking every 1.5 years & after going thru 3 of them I was done with them.

If I did another swap I would do things a little different so I wouldnt have those issues as I use my truck as a daily driver & need dependability 100 percent.
