Coilovers shocks yay or nay?

[Moleman]

Got some coil overs for free from a S10.I don't notice anything different to be honest. I thought it would stiff up the rear end a bit to help with body roll but they do all right.

"Helper" springs like that aren't all that stiff.

Those have variable-rate design, so almost no difference at all on small bumps or light loads.

Are S10 shocks compatible with GMT400 suspension for free-length, and compressed length? Valving?

Yeah it works. I guess any 1994-2004 jellybean blazer will work same mounting spots. I **** you not i noticed no difference in ride quality.it literally rides the exact same. If anything it raised the rear half an inch.

I'm just looking to reduce the body roll a bit and lower the rear to get rid of that rake.

How about a set of helper bags?

Get a rear sway bar to reduce body roll.

Helper bags arent for lowering. They are for payload or to stiffen the suspension.
I have them on all my trucks. When i seperated the bags air supply from left to right, i noticed less body roll. When the bags are connected together one side can take some load and push the air to the opposite side.

I'm getting ready to say Im not trying to do air ride again.

Helper bags and air ride are not the same thing.
