Don't worry about a V8's weight as the front suspension was designed to work with the truck fully loaded which put way more weight on the front than a V8 on an empty truck. I second trying the completed truck before doing an lowering. We have done several that the customers wanted RAISED after the S10 conversion. Pic of a 52 with all stock S10 suspension. Note the 2.5" exhaust is touching the grass and the bottom of the running board.
