sweet ass trade man. ill trade you my 3/4 dropped 98 s10 with a 4.3 vortec v6.... straight up. just kidding man. i always wanted a splash ranger. i like em. as for the front, i think the i-beam suspension will be better with dropped i-beams and/or spindles. i dont know if i would replace those springs, but i dont know much about rangers except they got i-beams till 99 then i think they switched to control arm suspension. as for cutting those coils, sometimes if you cut coils they make it ride horrible. they clunk on some vehicles when you hit bumps. i got a 1998 s10 regular cab 4.3 v6, intake,wire set,3/4 dropped, rollpan, and a sweet system. i am in the process of shaving it and i bought a tonneau cover but im gonna sell it
