Any idea how much your rig weighs? I'm looking to shed some weight and I think yours looks like the trimmed down version of where I'm heading.
My S10 Truggy build.
This has been extremely long time in the making. Ive been collecting parts and waiting patiently. I have had a full size Dodge and I think its pretty capable but I wanted something I could wheel and not have to worry about getting back home. It will towed most of the time. Also want it to fit on the trails! My objective is to have a vehicle that is titled and licensed but be a little wild. I decided on using a S10 2wd that didn't run when I bought it. I'm not a master fabricator but I'm gonna do my best. Here is some of the parts going into it:
350 tbi
TH 400
Atlas 4 speed(5.44 low range)
GM dana 60
14 bolt rear
All 4 link suspension
2.5" Air shocks 16" travel
Recentered Humvee wheels
42" pitbull rockers(most likely)
I've ditched the stock frame and basically starting on a vehicle from scratch. First thing I did was buy some 1/8" angle iron and get my drive train in the air to start building around.

Got my ORI's today. Took 10 weeks and few days to get them but they're here. These are 18" stroke STX's and there going in the back of the truck. Can't wait to wheel with these on, hopefully will feel much more stable on the side hills.

hopefully you have better luck with your ORIs than i do , my back two are on their third rebuild in 4 years,people that still have them , carry spares.

Actually started working on Getting ORI's on. The spacers on the new shocks are wider so I cut off one of the tabs on each side. I got them rewelded and waiting on paint to dry now. Then the fun of tuning begins.
