no one makes a direct bolt on for the luv.

YOu can buy parts and build your own.
Check out - http://www.suicidedoors.com for starters. :lol:
Most of there rear kits for the s10 are a close match for the luv frame, you can MAKE them work.

WARNING - I am not held responsible for all the money you will spend. :wink:


here are some members links to get you an idea of what your in for.

that all depends on what your after.

larger line and valves will be faster lift and drop. So if you where gonna body drop it then i woudl suggest smaller line, if you want to hop the front, then larger line. I would recommend like 3/8's line and valves, not too fast on average.

Then you have to decide on valves, etc.

my favorite brands for valves are SMC's. Bags are Slam Spec. and any line as long as its DOT approved.

It's probably best to read up on tons of other builds to see how others have done theres.

Go here, http://www.s10forum.com, they have a HUGE section on bagged trucks, projects section, etc. And you'll find tons of info on different rear setups and such.

The rear kits for the s10 are only 1/2 inch wider than our frames on the luv, so consider you can buy an s10 rear kit and just flex out the frame rails alittle or mod them to fit.

If you still have questions after reading thru that site abit, just let me know. I'll try and answer them all without sounding like a sales rep. :lol:
