Steve, Welcome to the bolt. reviewed your conversion in the past. The ride height that I have is about 1" lower than stock. If you want lower, then use lowering spindles. To lower the truck more, the cross member can be raised in the frame like the M2 kits are, this however requires notching the frame for steering rack clearance.
I had a complete front stub from a 81 Monte Carlo that I used to take all the measurements from (spare stub for friends race car). Unlike the S-10 frames with the narrow track width, the G-body has a 58" track width like the AD trucks.
Unlike conversions that use the steering box, I went with Rack & Pinion mainly because it can be adjusted for bump steer, however also because you dont need to cut the inner fenders to fit.
Also, if you use drop spindles, the steering geometry changes just a bit - I noticed that when I had my S-10.
Other than that, most of the stuff is covered here. Todd found a few issues with a tubular A-arm supplier and an excellent source for fastener kits.
Todd is running a 235, I am running a Big Block Olds, and Phil is running an SBC.
The problems we face today can not be addressed at the same level of intelligence we were at when we created them - Albert Einstein Or with the same level of $ - Me
