Thanks! It rides absolutely amazing. It never bottoms out, its smooth and stiff at the same time, I wouldn't change a thing about it. I can post what exactly is done to achieve the drop I have if you would like?

Another way you could do the rear is
3" leafs
2-3" block depends on how low you want it (keep axle wrap in mind)
JTR Pinion Shim kit
Belltech street performance shocks.

I really recommend the JTR pinion shim kit for the Xcab cause the pinion is a pain in the *** to get right with the 2 piece drive shaft.

S10, 2WD Extended Cab Driveshaft Alignment Kit, S-10 V8 Conversion, Stealth Conversions
Link to the shim kit from JTR ^^^^

Na the drop was done by a buddy and so was the engine swap. The truck actually appeared for-sale when I was In Iraq and it was such a killer deal I couldn't pass it up, plus I know the guy that built it and know it was built right. Yeah it has a welded in c-notch I forgot about that lol. I have dropped several s10's just not this one. This is my 6th one. LOL. I am looking forward to seeing your's on the ground! Are you gonna swap it and stuff?

And yeah I plan on doing it but College is in the right in the corner and might attend the 17th of this month soo that might hold things back Plus I got a Trans Am under construction on boost soo its tougher to see what will happen. Lol Might take this semester off to rack up some more cash and go from there.
